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 in 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 section
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 ex-
pressly 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 amend-
ed. And whenever the General Assembly shall enact any
Public General Law, not amendatory of any section or ar-
ticle 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 alterations which may
be made to the said Code..

SEC. 30. Every bill, when passed by the General As-
sembly, 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 re-
corded 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 hereto-
fore 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..

SEC. 32. No money shall be drawn from the Treasury of
the State by any order or resolution, nor except in accord-
ance with an appropriation by law; and every such law shall
distinctly specify the sum appropriated and object to which
it shall be applied; provided that nothing herein contained
shall prevent the General Assembly from placing a contin-
gent fund at the disposal of the Executive, who shall re-
port to the General Assembly at each session the amount.
