Relates to amending the constitution to prohibit an immediate vote to be called on budget bills
Bill S 48 proposes an amendment to the state constitution regarding the passage of budget bills. Currently, the Governor or acting Governor can certify the need for an immediate vote on a bill, which waives the standard three-day review period for it to be on legislators' desks. This bill would prohibit the Governor from calling such an immediate vote specifically for budget bills or appropriation bills. This change would ensure that all budget-related legislation must be available to legislators in its final form for at least three calendar legislative days before a final vote can occur.
