CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY
proposing an amendment to section 14 of article 3 of the constitution,
in relation to displaying bills electronically upon the desks of
members
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 OR DISPLAYED ELECTRON-
ICALLY UPON THE DESKS OF THE MEMBERS, in its final form, at least three
calendar legislative days prior to its final passage, unless the gover-
nor, 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 neces-
sitate 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.
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.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
