SPIRO T. AGNEW, Governor 3
persons, if any, as the Attorney General shall deem appropriate,
to obtain a declaratory judgment on the following questions.
(a) Would a delegate to the constitutional convention be the
holder of an office within the meaning of Articles 33 and 35 of the
Declaration of Rights and Section 6 of Article I and Sections 11
and 17 of Article III of the Constitution of Maryland?
(b) If a delegate to the constitutional convention would be the
holder of such an office, was the office created by Chapter 500 of
the Acts of the General Assembly of 1966?
(c) If a delegate to the constitutional convention would be the
holder of such an office and the office was created by Chapter 500
of the Acts of the General Assembly of 1966, is that Act valid
and effective notwithstanding the fact that it was passed as an
emergency act?
(d) If Chapter 500 of the Acts of the General Assembly of
Maryland of 1966 is null and void as an entirety because passed
as an emergency act, is Chapter 501 of the Acts of the General
Assembly of 1966 thereby rendered invalid, null and void?
(e) If Chapter 500 of the Acts of the General Assembly of 1966
is null and void in its entirety, can the General Assembly at its
1967 session call a constitutional convention without another ref-
erendum to take the sense of the people on the calling of such a
convention ?
(1) if Chapter 501 of the Acts of the General Assembly of
1966 was and is unconstitutional, null and void?
(2) if Chapter 501 of the Acts of the General Assembly of
1966 was and is valid and effective?
(f) If a delegate to the constitutional convention would be the
holder of such an office and the office was created by Chapter 500
of the Acts of the General Assembly of 1966, may a person holding
another office within the meaning of the Declaration of Rights and
Constitution of Maryland also hold the office of delegate to the con-
stitutional convention ?
(1) if such person does not, in fact, receive compensation as a
delegate to the convention whether or not compensation be paid or
provided for as to some or all of the delegates to the convention;
(2) if such person does not receive compensation but receives
reimbursement of actual expenses incurred in serving as a delegate
to the constitutional convention;
(3) if such person does not receive compensation but receives
a per diem expense allowance for his service as a delegate to the
constitutional convention without being required to account for the
amount of such expense allowance?
(g) If a delegate to the constitutional convention would be the
holder of such an office and the office was not created by Chapter
500 of the Acts of the General Assembly of 1966, but will be created
by an act of the General Assembly of Maryland enacted at its 1967
session, may a person holding another office within the meaning
of the Declaration of Rights and Constitution of Maryland also hold
the office of delegate to the constitutional convention?
