whether the committees may consider for discussion, and
possible inclusion in the Constitution to be drafted
by the Convention any provisions of the present
Constitution that are not formally embodied in proposal
read across the desk.
The answer to this question is yes. As was
indicated in the opening session, the intent of the
rules is that, unlike the Legislature, these committees
may create and these committees may themselves create
independently of any proposals that have been read
across the desk any provisions which they think should
be in a Constitution. This ultimately is read across
the desk. It In effect becomes a proposal, except
that in order to distinguish them, it is called in the
rules a committee recommendation instead of a proposal, but a
proposal by a committee rather than a proposal by a
delegate. However, in order to avoid any oversights
on the part of one committee that provisions of the
present Constitution should be considered by another
committee, the staff will prepare and circulate by
Monday OK Tuesday to the committees and committee |
