for the amendment?
DELEGATE CLAGETT: Mr. Chairman, I wish to
propose an amendment. I suggested to Delegate Kiefer that
we simply add the words "by general law" at the end of the
sentence. I understand that that has not been accepted.
Therefore, feeling that it is quite important, I would move
the amendment to include those words "by public general
law. "
DELEGATE CLARK: Delegate Kiefer has said he
would prefer not to accept that amendment and we have to
have unanimous consent, otherwise it would have to be
printed or presented.
DELEGATE CLAGETT: Therefore I propose to
print such an amendment and have it before this assembly.
It is a matter of great importance in order to preserve
a degree of uniformity throughout the state and to avoid
getting the General Assembly squarely back into the
area of local legislation and this body should appreciate
that fact and in order to avoid that confusion, I feel
that the amendment is essential.
DELEGATE CLARK: Delegate Kiefer.
