644 MARYLAND MANUAL [Art. 3
* SEC. 27. Any bill may originate in either House of the
General Assembly and be altered, amended or rejected by
the other. No bill shall originate in either House during the
last thirty-five calendar days of a regular session, unless
two-thirds of the members elected thereto shall so deter-
mine by yeas and nays, and in addition the two Houses by
joint and similar rule may further regulate the right to
introduce bills during this period; nor shall any bill become
a law until it be read on three different days of the session
in each House, unless two-thirds of the members elected to
the House where such bill is pending shall so determine by
yeas and nays, and no bill shall be read a third time until
it shall have been actually engrossed or printed for a third
reading.
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 on 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, nut 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

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
'Thus amended by Chapter 576, Acts of 1970, ratified November 3, 1970.
