            CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY

proposing an amendment to section 14 of article 3 of  the  constitution,
  in relation to the procedure for voting increases in the rate of state
  taxes

  Section 1. Resolved (if the Senate concur), That section 14 of article
3 of the constitution be amended to read as follows:
  S  14.  No  bill  shall be passed or become a law unless it shall have
been printed and upon the desks of the members, 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 opin-
ion necessitate an immediate vote thereon, in which case it must  never-
theless  be upon the desks of the members in final form, not necessarily
printed, before its  final  passage;  nor  shall  any  bill,  EXCEPT  AS
PROVIDED  HEREIN,  be  passed or become a law, except by the assent of a
majority of the members elected to each branch of the  legislature;  NOR
SHALL  ANY  BILL  WHICH INCREASES, EXTENDS, IMPOSES, OR REVIVES ANY TAX,
FEE, ASSESSMENT, SURCHARGE OR ANY OTHER  SUCH  LEVY  OR  COLLECTION,  BE
PASSED  OR  BECOME  A  LAW,  EXCEPT  BY  THE ASSENT OF TWO-THIRDS OF THE
MEMBERS ELECTED TO EACH BRANCH OF THE LEGISLATURE VOTING SEPARATELY; 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 ther-
eafter, and the ayes and nays entered on the journal.
  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.
