regular session, the Governor may, and it shall be his duty
to issue a proclamation extending the session for such further
period as may in his judgment be necessary for the passage of
such Bill; but no other matter than such Bill shall be con-.
sidered during such extended session except a provision for the
cost thereof.

Second. The Governor for the purpose of making up his

budgets shall have the power, and it shall be his duty, to re-
quire from the proper State officials, including herein all ex-
ecutive departments, all executive and administrative

offices, bureaus, boards, commissions and agencies expending
or supervising the expenditure of, and all institutions
applying for State moneys and appropriations, such item-
ized estimates and other information, in such form and
at such times as he shall direct. The estimates for the regis-
lative department, certified by the presiding officer of each
house, of the judiciary, as provided by law, certified by the
Comptroller, and for the public schools, as provided by law,
shall be transmitted to the Governor, in such form and at such
times as he shall direct, and shall be included in the budget
without revision.

The Governor may provide for public hearings on all esti-
mates and may require the attendance at such hearings of rep-
resentatives of all agencies, and of all institutions applying for.
State moneys. After such public hearings he may in his
discretion revise all estimates except those for the legislative
and judiciary departments, and for the public schools as pro-
vided by law.

Third. The Legislature may, from time to time, enact such
laws, not inconsistent with this Section, as may be necessary and
proper to carry out its provisions.

Fourth. In the event of any inconsistency between any
of the provisions of this Section and any of the other
provisions of the Constitution, the provisions of this Sec-
tion shall prevail. But nothing herein shall in any man-
ner affect the provisions of Section 34 of Article III of the Con-
stitution or of any laws heretofore or hereafter passed in purs-
suance thereof, or be construed as preventing the Governor
from calling extraordinary sessions of the Legislature, as pro--
vided by Section 16 of Article II, or as preventing the Legis-
lature at such extraordinary sessions from considering any
emergency appropriation or appropriations.
