            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.
