ThE CHAIRMAN: Delegate iios tetter.
DELEGATE IIOSTETTER: Chairman Moser, I refer
to the second sentence in Section 7.06, line 40 on page
3 of the Committee Recommendation. In granting the exer-
cise of a power or performance of a function for one
county that may be denied to another county or counties,
would the act of the legislature setting forth this
grant be subject to referendum?
DELEGATE MOSER: It would be subject, as I
understand it, to a statewide referendum. Under what
has been before us in the Committee of the Whole ur) to
now, it v.'ould not be subject to a local referendum as a
law of the General Assembly locally referred as provided
by what is it. Article 13 of the nresent Constitution,
whatever it happens to he. I hope I am not saying here
we go again, but let me continue with it.
It is an enabling law. It is not an affirma-
tive act. It is not therefore effective in doin any-
thing that is this local option arrangcirent, not effec-
tive in doing anything until the county acts. *\hen the
county acts its charter would provide for local referendun
