THE PRESIDENT:

2

Delegate Penniman, is it correct that the Committee

3

on Style at other places is using the word "passed" instead
of "enacted"?

4

DELEGATE PENNIMAN: Mr. President, that is true,

5

yes. We have been assuming that "enacted" included the

6

enactment which makes it a law, including also the action of

7

the Governor.

8

THE PRESIDENT: Isn't that what is intended here?

9

I am not sure that I understand you.

10

DELEGATE PENNIMAN: In this particular case,

11

it should be enacted. It is quite all right to say

12

"enacted" in this case.

13

THE PRESIDENT: In other words, when you say

14

"law enacted by the General Assembly" you mean a law or a

15

bill "passed" by the General Assembly, and either signed

16

by the Governor of passed by the General Assembly over his

17

veto.

18

DELEGATE PENNIMAN: That is correct. The use of

19

the word "passed" is only prior to the action by the

20

Governor.

21

THE PRESIDENT: Very well. I take it, Delegate
