two-thirds of the members elected to the House where such
bill is pending shall so determine by yeas and nays; and
no bill shall be read a third time until it shall have been
actually engrossed for a third reading.

SEC. 28. No bill shall become a law unless it be passed
in each House by a majority of the whole number of mem-
bers elected, and on its final passage the yeas and nays be
recorded; nor shall any resolution requiring the action of
both Houses be passed except in the same manner.

SEC. 29. The style of all laws of this State shall be, "Be
it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland: " and all
laws shall be passed by original bill; and every law enacted
by the General Assembly shall embrace but one subject,
and that shall be described in its title; and no law, nor sec-
tion of law, shall be revived or amended by reference to its
title or section only; nor shall any law be construed by
reason of its title to grant powers or confer rights which
are not expressly contained in the body of the Act; and it
shall be the duty of the General Assembly, in amending
any article or section of the Code of Laws of this State, to
enact the same as the said article or section would read
when amended. And whenever the General Assembly
shall enact any Public General Law, not amendatory of any
section or article in the said Code, it shall be the duty of
the General Assembly to enact the same, in articles and
sections, in the same manner as the Code is arranged, and
to provide for the publication of all additions and altera-
tions which may be made to the said Code.

SEC. 30. Every bill, when pasted by the General Assem-
bly, and sealed with the Great Seal, shall be presented to
the Governor, who, if he approves it, shall sign the same in
the presence of the presiding officers and chief clerks of
the Senate and House of Delegates. Every law shall be
recorded in the office of the Court of Appeals, and in due
time be printed, published and certified under the Great
Seal, to the several courts, in the same manner as has been
heretofore usual in this State.

SEC. 31. No law passed by the General Assembly shall
take effect until the first day of June next after the session
at which it may be passed, unless it be otherwise expressly
declared therein.
