            CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY

proposing  an amendment to article 3 of the constitution, in relation to
  the printing of bills

  Section 1. Resolved (if the Assembly concur), That section 14 of arti-
cle 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  OR  MADE  AVAILABLE IN AN ELECTRONIC PRINTABLE FORMAT and
upon the desks of the members, in its final form, at least three  calen-
dar 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 opinion necessitate 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 Assembly 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.
