Sub-Section D: General Provisions:..First. If the Budget
Bill shall not have been finally acted upon by the Legislature
three days before the expiration of its regular session, the
Governor may, and it shall be his duty to issue a proclama-
tion extending the session for such further period as may, in
his judgment, be necessary for the passage of such bill; but
no other matter than such bill shall be considered during such
extended session except a provision for the cost thereof.

Second. The Governor for the purpose of making up his bud-
gets shall have the power, and it shall be his duty, to require
from the proper State officials, including herein all executive
departments, all executive and administrative offices, bureaus,
boards, commissions and agencies, expending or supervising the
expenditure of, and all institutions applying for State moneys
and appropriations, such itemized estimates and other in-
formation, in such form and at such times as he shall direct.
The estimates for the Legislative Department, certified by the
presiding officer of each House, of the Judiciary, as provided by
law, certified by the Comptroller, and for the public schools, as
provided by law, shall be transmitted to the Governor, in such
form and at such times as he shall direct, and shall be included
in the budget without revision.

The Governor may provide for public hearings on all esti-
mates and may require the attendance at such hearings of
representatives of all agencies, and of all institutions apply-
ing for State moneys. After such public hearings he may, in
his discretion, revise all estimates except those for the legis-
lative and judiciary departments, and for the public schools
as provided by law.

Third. The Legislature may, from time to time, enact such
laws not inconsistent with this Section, as may be necessary
and proper to carry out its provisions.

Fourth. In the event of any inconsistency between any of
the provisions of this Section and any of the other provisions
of the Constitution, the provisions of this Section shall pre-
vail. But nothing herein shall in any manner affect the pro-
visions of Section 34 of Article III of the Constitution or of
any laws heretofore or hereafter passed in pursuance thereof,
or be construed as preventing the Governor from calling ex-
traordinary sessions of the Legislature, as provided by Section
16 of Article II, or as preventing the Legislature at such ex-
traordinary sessions from considering any emergency appro-
priation or appropriations.

If any item of any appropriation bill passed under the pro-
visions of this Section shall be held invalid upon any ground,
