   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

 of  the members elected to each branch of the legislature; NOR SHALL ANY
 BILL WHICH PROVIDES REVENUE TO THE STATE OR  ANY  POLITICAL  SUBDIVISION

 bill,  no  amendment thereof shall be allowed, and the question upon its
 final passage shall be taken immediately thereafter, and  the  ayes  and

 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
