The rule allows a majority of the members of the Senate to convene a meeting of the Senate at any time for the purpose of carrying out the Senate's responsibilities under article III, section 12 of the Constitution of the State of Hawaii. We have consolidated and rephrased the questions you ask as follows: 1. Notwithstanding the express language of Rule 31(3), must the Legislature or the Senate be in regular or special session in order for the Senate to meet to choose its officers, or adopt rules of procedure under Rule 31(3)? 2. If the Legislature or the Senate is not in regular or special session when the Senate's members meet to choose its officers or amend its rules, must the officers chosen or the rules adopted wait until the members' votes are ratified or cast again at a regular or special session of the Legislature before they may serve or take effect? Op. No. 05-1
