            CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY

  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 IN THIS SECTION, be passed or  become  a  law,  except  by  the
assent of a majority of the members elected to each branch of the legis-
lature;  NOR  SHALL  ANY BILL WHICH PROVIDES REVENUE TO THE STATE OR ANY
POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF BE PASSED OR BECOME A LAW, EXCEPT  BY  THE
ASSENT OF TWO-THIRDS OF THE MEMBERS ELECTED TO EACH BRANCH OF THE LEGIS-
LATURE VOTING SEPARATELY; and upon the last reading of a bill, no amend-
ment  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.
