the appropriations required by law for state support of public
school systems. The General Assembly may not amend the budget
bill in any other manner, or change the estimate of revenues, or
decrease the compensation of a public officer during his term of
office.

Section 6.13. Enactment of Budget Bill.

The budget bill shall become law when passed by both houses
of the General Assembly and shall not be subject to veto by the
governor. If the budget bill shall not have been finally enacted
by the General Assembly by the eightieth day of its regular
session, the governor shall issue a proclamation extending the
session until the enactment of the budget bill and ten days there-
after. After the proclamation no other legislation, except pro-
vision for the cost of the extended session, shall be finally passed
by the General Assembly until the budget bill has been enacted.

Section 6.14. Testimony on Budget Bill.

Either house of the General Assembly may require any person
in any branch or agency of the state government, other than the
governor, to appear and testify with respect to the budget bill
or a supplementary appropriation bill. The governor or a person
designated by him shall have the right to appear and testify with
respect to these bills.

Section 6.15. Supplementary Appropriations.

Any other appropriation shall be embodied in a supplementary
appropriation bill, the purpose or purposes of which shall be
clearly defined therein. In a regular session a supplementary
appropriation bill may be passed by either house, but shall not
be finally passed by both houses until the budget bill has been
enacted. In a special session a supplementary appropriation bill
may be considered and enacted at any time. Except with regard
to capital projects submitted by the governor, a supplementary
appropriation bill shall provide the revenue necessary to pay the
appropriation by a tax, direct or indirect, to be levied and col-
lected as prescribed therein.
