Answer:

If a governor feels it is necessary, he/she can call a special session of the state legislature to discuss emergencies of pressing issues.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a legislature, a special session also known as extraordinary session is a period when the body convenes outside its normal legislative session. Special sessions can be called when the body has failed to finish all of its tasks for the year, during natural emergencies or during a crisis, as well as to discuss a specific topic of interest. The President of the nation has the power to call for a special session, as well as the governor of state who can call a special session within his/her state legislature. For example, on June of 2019, the Governor of Virginia called for a special session to discuss the topic of gun violence, after a mass shooting that took place in Virginia Beach days before.
