3136 CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION OF MARYLAND [Jan. 3]

carried and the amendment to strike the
words "by law" in line 8 is adopted.

The Chair understands that there is no
difficulty with the amendment in the next
sentence, and he will put that, therefore,
as one motion.

The question arises on the adoption of
the recommendations of the Committee on
Style as indicated in the second sentence of
section 8.01 beginning on line 9 comprising
all of line 10 and the words "by the Gov-
ernor" in line 11.

Delegate Boyer, do you desire to be
recognized?

DELEGATE BOYER: Just to comment
that we urge the acceptance of this recom-
mendation.

THE PRESIDENT: Very well.

A vote Aye is a vote in favor of the
committee recommendation. A vote No is
a vote against.

Cast your votes.

Has every delegate voted? Does any dele-
gate desire to change his vote?

(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.

There being 104 votes in the affirmative
and 4 in the negative, the motion is carried
and the amendment is adopted.

The question now arises on the adoption
of the amendment recommended by the
Committee on Style to strike from line 11
the word "State" and to substitute there-
for the words "General Assembly by law".
Is there any discussion?

(There was no response.)
Are you ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
Delegate Della.

DELEGATE DELLA: Mr. President,
do we not have to substitute the word
"State" for "General Assembly" as we did
in line 7?

THE PRESIDENT: We did not sub-
stitute the word in line 7, Delegate Della.
The Convention accepted the words "Gen-
eral Assembly by law" instead of the word
"State". To be consistent, you will do the
same thing in line 11 and 12.

A vote Aye is a vote in favor of the
amendment recommended by the Commit-
tee on Style; a vote No is a vote against.

Cast you vote.

Has every delegate voted? Does any dele-
gate desire to change his vote?

(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.

There being 106 votes in the affirmative
and 5 in the negative, the motion is carried
and the amendment is adopted.

The question now arises on the adoption
of the recommendation of the Committee
on Style to amend section 8.01 by striking
the word "provide" and the words "for
such" in line 12 and substituting the word
"establish" in line 12 and the word "any"
in line 13.

The Chair recog-nizes Delegate Boyer.

DELEGATE BOYER: Mr. President,
for consistency and with the comments
already expressed, we would suggest that
this particular style amendment be re-
jected and referred back to the General
Provisions Committee.

THE PRESIDENT: Is there any fur-
ther discussion?

(There was no response.)

The question arises on the adoption of
the recommendation of the Committee on
Style to strike from line 12 the word "pro-
vide" and the words "for such" and to
substitute in line 12 "establish" and in 13
"any".

A vote Aye is a vote in favor; a vote
No is a vote against.

Cast your votes.

Has every delegate voted? Does any dele-
gate desire to change his vote?

(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.

There being 2 votes in the affirmative
and 105 in the negative, the motion is lost
and the amendment is rejected.

The question now arises on the accept-
ance of the committee recommendation to
amend 8.01 by striking the words "by law"
from line 12.

Is there any discussion?
(There was no response.)
Are you ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
