  Section 1. Resolved (if the Assembly concur), That section 9 of  arti-
cle 3 of the constitution be amended to read as follows:
  S  9.  A  majority of each house shall constitute a quorum to do busi-

final  passage,  unless the governor, or the acting governor, shall have
certified, under his or her hand and the seal of the  state,  the  facts
which  in  his  or her opinion necessitate an immediate vote thereon, in
which case it must nevertheless be upon the  desks  of  the  members  in
final form, not necessarily printed, before its final passage; nor shall
any  bill  be passed or become a law, except by the assent of a majority
of the members elected to each branch of the legislature; and  upon  the
last  reading  of a bill, no amendment thereof shall be allowed, and the
question upon its final passage shall be taken  immediately  thereafter,
and the ayes and nays entered on the journal.
