  Section 1. Resolved (if the Assembly concur), That section 14 of arti-

been [printed and upon the desks of the members] AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC
IN PRINTED OR ELECTRONIC PRINTABLE FORMAT, in its final form,  at  least
three  calendar  legislative days prior to its 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 neverthe-
less 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.
  S 2. Resolved (if the Assembly concur), That the  foregoing  amendment
be referred to the first regular legislative session convening after the
next  succeeding  general  election  of members of the assembly, and, in
conformity with  section  1  of  article  19  of  the  constitution,  be
published for 3 months previous to the time of such election.
