MARYLAND MANUAL 435


(b) All laws referred under the provisions of this Ar
ticle shall be submitted separately on the ballots to the voters,
of the people, but if containing more than two hundred
words, the full text shall not be printed on the official bal
lots, but the Secretary of State shall prepare and submit a
ballot title of each such measure in such form as to present
the purpose of said measure concisely and intelligently. The
ballot title may be distinct from the legislative title, but in
any case the legislative title shall be sufficient. Upon each
of the ballots, following the ballot title or text, as the case
may be, of each such measure, there shall be printed the
words “For the Referred Law” and “Against the Referred
Law,” as the case may be. The votes cast for and against
any such referred law shall be returned to the Governor in
the manner prescribed with respect to proposed amend
ments to the Constitution under ‘Article XIV of this Con
stitution, and the Governor shall proclaim the result of the
election, and, if it shall appear that the majority of the
votes cast on any such measure were cast in favor thereof,
the Governor shall, by his proclamation, declare the same
having received a majority of the votes to have been adopted
by the people of Maryland as a part of the laws of the State,
to take effect thirty, days after such election, and in like
manner and with like effect the Governor shall proclaim the
result of the local election as to any Public Local Law which
shall have been submitted to the voters of any county or of
City of Baltimore.

SEC. 6. No law or Constitutional Amendment, licensing,
regulating, prohibiting, or submitting to local option, the

referred or repealed under any Act of the provisions of this
Article.
