 follows:
   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  opinion
 necessitate  an  immediate vote thereon, in which case it must neverthe-
 less 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

 MEMBERS ELECTED TO EACH BRANCH OF THE LEGISLATURE VOTING SEPARATELY; 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 ther-
 eafter, and the ayes and nays entered on the journal.

 referred to the first regular legislative session  convening  after  the
 next  succeeding  general  election  of members of the assembly, and, in
