Art. 3] MARYLAND MANUAL 645
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 the object,
to which it shall be applied; provided, that nothing herein
contained, shall prevent the General Assembly from placing
a contingent fund at the disposal of the Executive, who shall
report to the General Assembly, at each Session, the amount
expended, and the purposes to which it was applied. An ac-
curate statement of the receipts and expenditures of the
public money, shall be attached to, and published with the
Laws, after each regular Session of the General Assembly.
SEC. 33. The General Assembly shall not pass local, or
special Laws, in any of the following enumerated cases, viz. :
For extending the time for the collection of taxes; granting
divorces.; changing the name of any person; providing for
the sale of real estate, belonging to minors, or other persons
laboring under legal disabilities, by executors, administra-
tors, guardians or trustees; giving effect to informal, or in-
valid deeds or wills; refunding money paid into the State
Treasury, or releasing persons from their debts, or obliga-
tions to the State, unless recommended by the Governor, or
officers of the Treasury Department. And the General As-
sembly shall pass no special Law, for any case, for which
provision has been made, by an existing General Law. The
General Assembly, at its first Session after the adoption
of this Constitution, shall pass General Laws, providing for
the cases enumerated in this section, which are not already
adequately provided for, and for all other cases, where a
General Law can be made applicable.
1 SEC. 34. No debt shall be hereafter contracted by the
General Assembly unless such debt shall be authorized by a
law providing for the collection of an annual tax or taxes
sufficient to pay the interest on such debt as it falls due,
and also to discharge the principal thereof within fifteen
years from the time of contracting the same; and the taxes
laid for this purpose shall not be repealed or applied to
any other object until the said debt and interest thereon
'Thus amended by Chapter 234, Acts of 1959, ratified November 8. 1960.
