            CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY

proposing  an  amendment to section 14 of article 3 of the constitution,
  in relation to eliminating the use of messages of necessity for appro-
  priations bills

  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 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.  THE GOVERNOR MAY NOT ISSUE A MESSAGE OF  NECES-
SITY  FOR APPROPRIATIONS BILLS, EXCEPT WHERE IMMEDIATE PASSAGE IS NECES-
SARY TO ADDRESS OR AVERT AN EXTREME FISCAL CRISIS. ANY SUCH  MESSAGE  OF
NECESSITY  MUST  BE ACCEPTED BY AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF A MAJORITY OF ALL
MEMBERS OF EACH HOUSE OF THE LEGISLATURE. APPROPRIATIONS BILLS SHALL NOT
BE PASSED UNLESS THEY ARE PLACED UPON THE DESKS OF THE MEMBERS, IN THEIR
FINAL FORM, THOUGH NOT NECESSARILY PRINTED, AT LEAST THREE CALENDAR DAYS
PRIOR TO VOTING.
  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.
