Today, however, the Nevada Assembly is scheduled to convene even though the regular session ended a week ago.  The Assembly is in session as a result of this proclamation issued by Governor Joe Lombardo.  He has the authority to call the legislature into special session pursuant to Article V, Section 9 of the Nevada Constitution which provides: "the Governor may, on extraordinary occasions, convene the Legislature by Proclamation and shall state to both houses, when organized, the business for which they have been specially convened".   In this case, the business to be considered is baseball, or more specifically a "financing and infrastructure project related to the construction of a Major League Baseball stadium".
