only one county, we are now proposing to include in the

2

Constitution a provision which would take care of that

3

situation.

4

The percentage requirement in proposed Amend-

5

ment 12 is the same as in the present Constitution. It

6

also includes in this Amendment No. 12 the same limitations

7

on the referendum in terms of taxing power or law pertaining

8

to an appropriation as is appropriate to state-wide laws.

9

I sincerely hope for your support of this.

10

THE PRESIDENT: Any questions of the sponsor

11

of the amendment?

12

Delegate Sollins.

DELEGATE SOLLINS: Delegate Koss, I note that

14

in the exceptions, beginning on line 15, you do not

15

include legislative apportionment and districting or

16

congressional districting. I brina this up because as I

17

read this it says the General Assembly shall prescribe by

18

law procedures by which a law enacted by it and applicable

19

in only one county.

20

I could foresee a situation where a legislative

21

districting law would be applicable only in one county,
