Art. 3] MARYLAND MANUAL 703
i SEC. 14. The General Assembly shall meet on the sec-
ond Wednesday of January, nineteen hundred and seventy-
one, and on the same day in every year thereafter, and at
no other time, unless convened by Proclamation of the Gov-
ernor. A Proclamation convening the General Assembly in
extraordinary session must be issued by the Governor if a
majority of the members elected to the Senate and a major-
ity of the members elected to the House of Delegates join
in a petition to the Governor requesting that he convene the
General Assembly in extraordinary session, and the Gov-
ernor shall convene the General Assembly on the date speci-
fied in the petition. This section does not affect the Gov-
ernor's power to convene the General Assembly in extra-
ordinary session pursuant to Section 16 of Article II of this
Constitution.
2 SEC. 15. (1) The General Assembly may continue its
session so long as in its judgment the public interest may
require, for a period not longer than ninety days in each
year. The ninety days shall be consecutive unless otherwise
provided by law. The General Assembly may extend its
session beyond ninety days but, not exceeding an additional
thirty days by resolution concurred in by a three-fifths vote
of the membership in each House. When the General As-
sembly is convened by Proclamation of the Governor, the
session shall not continue longer than thirty days, but no
additional compensation other than mileage and other allow-
ances provided by law shall be paid members of the General
Assembly for special session.
(2) Any compensation and allowances paid to members
of the General Assembly shall be as established by a com-
mission known as the General Assembly Compensation Com-
mission. The Commission shall consist of nine members,
five of whom shall be appointed by the Governor, two of
whom shall be appointed by the President of the Senate,
and two of whom shall be appointed by the Speaker of the
House of Delegates. Members of the General Assembly and
officers and employees of the Government of the State of
Maryland or of any county, city, or other governmental unit
of the State shall not be eligible for appointment to the
Commision. The members of the initial Commission shall
be appointed within ten days after this Constitutional
Amendment takes effect, and their terms shall expire May
31, 1974. Beginning June 1, 1974, members of the Commis-
sion shall be appointed for terms of four years. Members
