1

MR. MELVIN: Not the way I read It.

2

DR. LOEVY: Are you talking about this suggested

3

amendment here or are you talking about the constitution

4

as it now stands?

5

DEAN FORDHAM: This.

6

THE CHAIRMAN: The alternate provision, Section

7

802.

8

DEAN FORDHAM: In the first paragraph it refers

9

to express powers. It says, Such express powers granted

10

to the charter counties shall not be enlarged or extended

11

by any charter formed under the provisions of this article,

12

but such powers may be extended, modified, amended, or

13

repealed by the State Legislature. It says, This grant

14

of express powers shall include (a) through (j) . The way

15

I read that is the Legislature could take back any of those

16

(a) through (j) .

17

MR. MELVIN: I don't think he meant that.

18

DR. LOEVY: That wasnt the intention when drawn.

19

If it was the feeling of the Conmittee that that was the

20

situation, I would recommend we change the language in the

21

first paragraph.
