            CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY

proposing an amendment to section 11 of article 7 of  the  constitution,
  in relation to debt contracted by the state and authorization thereof

  Section 1. RESOLVED (if the Senate concur), That section 11 of article
7 of the constitution be amended to read as follows:
  S  11. Except the debts or refunding debts specified in sections 9, 10
and 13 of this article, no debt shall be hereafter contracted by  or  in
behalf  of  the  state, unless such debt shall be authorized by law, for
some single work or purpose, to be distinctly specified therein. No such
law shall take effect until it shall, at a general election,  have  been
submitted  to  the people, and have received a majority of all the votes
cast for and against it at such election nor shall it be submitted to be
voted on within three months after  its  passage  [nor  at  any  general
election  when  any other law or any bill shall be submitted to be voted
for or against].
  The legislature may, at any time after the approval of such law by the
people, if no debt shall have  been  contracted  in  pursuance  thereof,
repeal  the same; and may at any time, by law, forbid the contracting of
any further debt or liability under such law.
  S 2. RESOLVED (if the Senate 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.
