floor, a fee not exceeding the rate of [10 cents per
basket or 75 cents per hogshead] 1/10 OF 1 CENT PER
POUND. At any time less than 60 days prior to the
opening of the selling season, the authority may
establish a lower rate for that one season in
consideration of its need for funds in the next fiscal
year, or other potentially available revenues, and funds
the State Comptroller holds on its account. Any lower
rate shall be at a level sufficient to keep the special
fund at an adequate level to meet requirements of this
subtitle.

necessary for the immediate preservation of the public
health and safety and having been passed by a yea and nay
vote supported by three—fifths of all the members elected
to each of the two Houses of the General Assembly, the
same shall take effect from the date of its passage.
