            CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY

proposing an amendment to section 14 of article 3 of  the  constitution,
  in  relation  to  displaying  bills  electronically  upon the desks of
  members

  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 OR DISPLAYED ELECTRON-
ICALLY UPON THE DESKS OF THE MEMBERS, in its final form, at least  three
calendar  legislative days prior to its final passage, unless the gover-
nor, 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  neces-
sitate  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 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.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
