            CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY

proposing  an  amendment to section 14 of article 3 of the constitution,
  in relation to the procedure for voting increases in the rate of state
  taxes

  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, EXCEPT AS
PROVIDED HEREIN, 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 INCREASES, EXTENDS, IMPOSES, OR  REVIVES  ANY  TAX,
FEE,  ASSESSMENT, SURCHARGE OR ANY OTHER SUCH LEVY OR COLLECTION, EXCEPT
ANY BILL WHICH RESULTS FROM THE PASSAGE OF A HOME RULE MESSAGE  PURSUANT
TO SECTION TWO OF ARTICLE NINE OF THIS CONSTITUTION, 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.
  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.
