Third; The second part shall be designated "General Ap-
propriations," and shall include all other estimates of appro-
priations.

The Governor shall deliver to the presiding officer of each
House the budgets and a bill for all the proposed appropria-
tions of the budgets clearly itemized and classified; and the
presiding officer of each House shall promptly cause said bill
to be introduced therein, and such bill shall be known as the
"Budget Bill." The Governor may, before final action thereon
by the General Assembly, amend or supplement either of
said budgets to correct an oversight or in case of an emergency,
with the consent of the General Assembly by delivering such
an amendment or supplement to the presiding officers of
both Houses; and such amendment or supplement shall thereby
become a part of said budget bill as an addition to the items
of said bill or as a modification of or a substitute for any item
of said bill such amendment or supplement may effect.

The General Assembly shall not amend the budget bill so
as to affect either the obligations of the State under Section
34 of Article III of the Constitution, or the provisions made by
the laws of the State for the establishment and maintenance of
a system of public schools or the payment 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 in-
creasing or diminishing the items therein relating to the General
Assembly, and by increasing 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, pro-
vided, 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 immed-
iately without further action by the Governor.

State expending or applying for State's money, as have been

right, and when requested by either House of the Legislature,
it shall be their duty to appear and be heard with respect to
any budget bill during the consideration thereof, and to answer
inquiries relative thereto.
