(6) The General As-
sembly shall not amend
the Budget Bill so as to
affect either the obligations
of the State under Section 34
of Article 3 of the Constitu-
tion, or the provisions made
by the Laws of the State
for the establishment and
maintenance of a system of
public schools or the pay-
ment of any salaries re-
quired to be paid by the
State of Maryland by the
Constitution thereof; and
the General Assembly may
amend the bill by increas-
ing or diminishing the items
therein relating to the Gen-
eral Assembly, and by in-
creasing the items therein
relating to the judiciary,
but except as hereinbefore
specified, may not alter the
said bill except to strike
out or reduce items therein,
provided, however, that the
salary or compensation of
any public officer shall not
be decreased during his
term of office; and such
bill, when and as passed by
both Houses, shall be a law
immediately without further
action by the Governor.
(7) The Governor and
such representatives of the
executive departments,
boards, officers and com-
missions of the State ex-
pending or applying for
State's moneys, as have been
designated by the Governor
for this purpose, shall have
the right, and when re-
quested by either House of
the General Assembly, it
shall be their duty to ap-
pear and be heard with
respect to any Budget Bill
during the consideration
thereof, and to answer in-
quiries relative thereto.
