7. The General Assembly may provide, by rules or otherwise,
for further regulating the employment of legislative counsel and
agents, for the manner and form of keeping such legislative
dockets, and for disbarring any person from employment in the
capacity of a legislative counsel or agent; provided, that such
person be allowed a hearing before a committee or otherwise,
upon the question of such disbarment, and that cause be shown
therefor. No person shall employ any one as legislative attorney
or agent within the period of three years after his disbarment,
as above provided. Any person regularly or professionally
employed as a legislative agent may cause his name to be entered
upon a list of such agents, which shall be kept by the Secretary
of State in connection with said docket. When any person is
disbarred from employment as a legislative agent, as above pro-
vided, his name shall be stricken from such list, and shall not
again be placed thereon within the period of three years.

adjournment of the General Assembly, and the docket for the
ensuing two years shall then be opened. In the absence of rules
made by the General Assembly with reference to said dockets,
the Secretary of State may adopt such rales with reference
thereto as may be proper under this sub-title.
