DELEGATE CASE: Delegate Scanlan, I can't

2

agree with Delegate Rybcznski's statement that section

3

48 of article 3 is exactly the same in substance with

4

the proposed section 3.17ab. And I think in this there may

5

lie the flaw in your amendment.

6

Section 48 in the present Constitution contains

7

an exception for laws dealing with municipal corporations.

8

That was taken out by the committee's recommendation. If

9

we vote to keep old section 48 in the new Constitution,

10

11

provisions which we have already passed?

12

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Scanlan.

DELEGATE SCANLAN: I must confess on that point

14

that Mr. Case is right. I had forgotten that we had

15

eliminated the municipal corporation provision that was

16

formerly found in article 48, and that matter would have to

17

be handled somewhere else if my amendment were adopted.

18

My amendment is not directed at that particular

19

problem, and I think it could be rectified by other language,
