Governor's power to summon sessions and prorogue or dissolve the legislature structures state parliamentary continuity. The Governor may summon each House of the State Legislature to meet at times and places he thinks fit, but no more than six months may pass between the last sitting of one session and the first sitting of the next. The Governor also has the authority to prorogue either House and to dissolve the Legislative Assembly, thereby controlling suspension of sittings and termination of the Assembly's term.
