DELEGATE GALLAGHER: Mr. Chairman and ladies and
gentlemen, I believe Amendment No. 27 overcomes the diffi-
culties we discussed when we were on Amendment 22 and also
incorporates the earlier change we made this morning, which
requires that the bill and all amendments thereto shall be
in writing. This provides now that at both regular and
special sessions of the General Assembly that no vote on
final passage shall be taken until the bill and all amend-
ments thereto shall be in writing. Then the next section
beginning on line 8 provides that except for the first
four days of a special session which means that therefore a
special session can act in I, 2, 3, or 4 days if it so desiros,
that it is required that a bill be held before a final vote
for four days in the house of origin and at least two days
in the second house. However, both of these requirements
of four days and two days can be suspended by an affirmative
vote of three-fifths of all the members. I do believe that
.
this accomplishes what we were seeking to do earlier and I
urge its passage.
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any questions of the
sponsor of the amendment? Are you ready for the question?
