700 MARYLAND MANUAL [Art. 3
resolution adopt a plan setting forth the boundaries of the
legislative districts for the election of members of the
Senate and the House of Delegates, which plan shall con-
form to Sections 2, 3 and 4 of this Article. If a plan has
been adopted by the General Assembly by the 45th day
after the opening of the regular session of the General
Assembly in the third year following the 1970 census and
in the second year following every census thereafter, the
plan adopted by the General Assembly shall become law.
If no plan has been adopted by the General Assembly for
these purposes by the 45th day after the opening of the
regular session of the General Assembly in the third year
following the 1970 census and in the second year following
every census thereafter, the Governor's plan presented to
the General Assembly shall become law.
Upon petition of any registered voter, the Court of
Appeals shall have original jurisdiction to review the legis-
lative districting of the State and may grant appropriate
relief, if it finds that the districting of the State is not
consistent with requirements of either the Constitution of
the United States of America, or the Constitution of
Maryland.
Upon the adoption by the qualified voters of the State
in 1972 of the above amendments to Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5
of this Article, any legislative districting and apportion-
ment plan submitted by the Governor or adopted by the
General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of this section
as they existed immediately prior to the adoption in 1972
of the said amendments, shall be void and of no effect pro-
vided that any plan adopted by the General Assembly prior
to the first day of the regular session of 1973 in con-
formity with Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Article, as
amended in 1972, shall not be void, but shall become law
immediately upon the adoption of the amendment. The
adoption of these amendments in 1972 does not affect the
election, tenure, powers, privileges, and duties of any mem-
ber of the General Assembly in office when these amend-
ments become effective, for the remainder of the term for
which he was elected.
1 SEC. 6. A member of the General Assembly shall be
elected by the registered voters of the legislative district
from which he seeks election, to serve for a term of four
years beginning on the second Wednesday of January fol-
lowing his election.
I Thus amended by Chapter 786, Acts of 1969, ratified November 3, 1970.
