MEASURE NECESSARY FOR THE IMMEDIATE PROTECTION OR
PRESERVATION OF THE SAFETY, HEALTH, OR WELFARE OF THE
PUBLIC, AND ADOPTED BY A VOTE OF NOT LESS THAN TWO-
THIRDS OF ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS.]

Section 2. And be it further enacted that this Act is hereby declared
to be an emergency measure and necessary for the preservation of the
public health and safety; it being further declared that an emergency
exists in that the provisions of the hereinbefore repealed section of the
Code of Public Local Laws of Prince George's County appears to be in
conflict with the intent and purpose of the provisions respecting the enact-
ment of legislation contained in Section 317 of the Prince George's County
Charter which therefore causes confusion in the adoption of laws to be
enacted by the Council. This Act having been passed by a yea and nay
vote of two-thirds of the members of the full Council, the same shall take
effect from the date of its passage.

Adopted this 4th day of May, 1971.
