Art. 3] MARYLAND MANUAL 707
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.
Each House may adopt by rule a "consent calendar"
procedure permitting bills to be read and voted upon as a
single group on both second and third readings, provided
that the members of each House be afforded reasonable
notice of the bills to be placed upon each "consent calen-
dar." Upon the objection of any member, any bill in ques-
tion shall be removed from the "consent calendar."
" SEC. 28. No bill, nor single group of bills placed on
the "consent calendar," shall become a Law unless it be
passed in each House by a majority of the whole number
of members elected, and on its final passage, the yeas and
nays be recorded, and on final passage of the bills placed
on the "consent calendar" the yeas and nays on the
entire group of bills be recorded. A resolution requiring
the action of both Houses shall be passed 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
I Thus amended by Chapter 369, Acts of 1972, ratified November 7, 1972.
