Where you have a multi-county governmental

2

unit dealing with more than one county, then it would

3

have, as I said earlier, the general provision for statewide

4

referendum, and/or the absence of that, the provisions of

5

7.08.

6

THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Sollins.

7

DELEGATE SOLLINS: A question to the Chair,

8

please. I think what this amendment is directed at are

9

the exceptions contained in Section 3.23, those dealing

10

with public education and natural environment and

11

resources. Those are the only two occasions that I could

12

see where that would be, this referendum could be

13

applicable, and I wonder if perhaps the Style Committee

14

could not -- I see Delegate Penniman wince. I am sorry.

15

— could not perhaos redraft this to incorporate the

16

language in 3.23 in an appropriate manner and solve this

17

problem.

18

THE PRESIDENT: The effort has been made to

19

do this for considerable time today, and it was thought

20

it had been accomplished in the latter part of this

21

section.
