Governor may, and it shall be his duty to, issue a proclama-
tion 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 considered 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
require from the proper State officials, including herein all
executive departments, all executive and administrative offi-
ces, bureaus, boards, commissions and agencies expending or
supervising the expenditure of, and all institutions applying
for, State moneys and appropriations, such itemized estimates
and other information in such form and at such times as he
shall direct. The estimates for the legislative department,
certified by the presiding officer of each House; of the judici-
ary, 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
representatives of all agencies and of all institutions apply-
ing for State moneys. After such public hearings, he may
in his discretion revise all estimates, except those for the legis-
lative and judiciary departments, and for the public schools,
as provided 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 section shall prevail.
But nothing herein shall in any manner affect the provisions
of Section 34 of Article III of the Constitution or of any laws
heretofore or hereafter passed in pursuance thereof, or be
construed as preventing the Governor from calling extraordi-
nary sessions of the Legislature, as provided by Section 16 of
Article II, or as preventing the Legislature at such extraordi-
nary sessions from considering any emergency appropriation
or appropriations.

"If any item of any Appropriation Bill passed under the
provisions of this section shall be held invalid upon any
ground, such invalidity shall not affect the legality of the
Bill or of any other item of such Bill or Bills. "
