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] SUCH PERSON'S hand and the seal of the state, the facts which in
[his or her] THE GOVERNOR'S, OR THE ACTING GOVERNOR'S, opinion necessi-
tate 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, 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 legislature; NOR SHALL ANY
BILL WHICH PROVIDES REVENUE TO THE STATE OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION
THEREOF IN A MANNER THAT IS NON-RECURRING, BE PASSED OR BECOME A LAW,
EXCEPT BY THE ASSENT OF TWO-THIRDS OF THE 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 thereafter, and the ayes and
nays entered on the journal.
§ 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.
