All in favor, signify by saying Aye;
contrary, No. The Ayes have it. It is so
ordered.
(Whereupon, at 10:10 A.M., the Conven-
tion resolved itself into the Committee of
the Whole.)
(The mace was removed by the Sergeant-
at-Arms.)
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
NOVEMBER 15, 1967—10:10 A.M.
PRESIDENT H. VERNON ENEY,
PRESIDING
THE CHAIRMAN: The Committee of
the Whole will please come to order.
We still have under consideration Com-
mittee Recommendation LG-1.
At the time the Committee of the Whole
recessed yesterday, we had acted upon
Amendment No. 1 and rejected it; Amend-
ment No. 2 had been submitted and then
withdrawn, and it is my understanding
that this morning there would be another
amendment offered. Is Delegate Wagandt
here? Do you have an amendment to 7.02
or 7.10, Delegate Wagandt?
DELEGATE WAGANDT: That is cor-
rect. I left it in the Clerk's office about
9:30 A.M. this morning. It should be printed
by now, I should think.
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any other
amendments to section 7.2 or 7.10 which
have not been printed?
DELEGATE CASE: Mr. Chairman, I
left an amendment with the Clerk's office
right after our adjournment last evening.
I assume it has been printed, but I am un-
able to find it. Maybe with your greater
power, you can find it.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Kirkland.
DELEGATE KIRKLAND: Mr. Chair-
man, I have one in the Clerk's office also
on 7.10.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Case, I
have your amendment. Does the Clerk have
copies?
READING CLERK: Yes.
THE CHAIRMAN: The Clerk will read
the amendment. We will number it No. 2.
READING CLERK: Amendment No. 2,
to Committee Recommendation LG-1, by
|
Delegate Case: On page 4 section 7.10, Es-
tablishment of Multi-County Governmental
Units, strike out all of lines 42 through
45 and insert in lieu thereof the following:
"The General Assembly may provide
referenda for any law establishing, affect-
ing the powers of, or dissolving popularly
elected representative regional govern-
ments, or the creation or alteration of their
boundaries."
THE CHAIRMAN: Does Delegate Case
move the amendment? Is it seconded?
DELEGATE CASE: Mr. Chairman, be-
fore I move the amendment, might I say
that this is not a copy of the amendment
as I finally drafted it. This was the form
in which it was originally drafted, but
after consultation with the Chairman of
the Committee, I made certain additional
changes in it. This was the way it was
first drafted, and the redraft of it seems
not to have arrived. I gave the redraft to
Mr. Martineau, who said it would take the
place of this piece of paper and be on the
Floor this morning. I can tell you exactly
what the changes are very easily.
THE CHAIRMAN: Let me check and
see. Proceed.
DELEGATE CASE- If you will look at
the piece of paper that has been marked
Amendment No. 4, at line 8 —
THE CHAIRMAN: Amendment No.
what? 2.
DELEGATE CASE: Amendment No. 2,
I am sorry. At line 8, if you will strike out
from that line, "multi-county government
units"; in line 9, strike out "intergovern-
mental authorities", and in line 11 strike
out the words "and other units of local
government", it will then be the amend-
ment which I offer.
THE CHAIRMAN: While are are check-
ing on the whereabouts of the amendment
as reprinted, in the absence of objection,
the Chair will consider the amendment
modified as just indicated by Delegate Case.
Strike out of line 8 the words "multi-county
governmental units"; out of line 9 "inter-
governmental authorities", and out of line
11 "and other units of local government".
Is there any objection? If not, the amend-
ment will be so modified.
Is there a second?
(Whereupon, the amendment was duly
seconded.)
