By constitutional mandate, the regular session ended August 16, but Brown convened a special session of the legislature on August 25 because important bills that he had vetoed needed to be rewritten and passed, and because some bills he had signed needed to be amended to comply with the new constitution.
根据宪法中的规定，议会的常规会议应在8月16日结束，但布朗于8月25日召集了特别立法会议，因为有一些他否决了的重要法案必须加以修订后重新通过，还有一些他已经签置的法案也需要修正来适应新的宪法。
