the two Houses by joint and similar rule may further regulate the
right to introduce bills during this period; nor shall any bill become
a law until it be read on three different days of the session in each
House, unless two-thirds of the members elected to the House where
such bill is pending shall so determine by yeas and nays, and no bill
shall be read a third time until it shall have been actually engrossed
or printed for a third reading.

If the Budget Bill shall not have been finally acted upon by the
Legislature [three] seven days before the expiration of [its] the
regular session, the Governor [may, and it] shall [be his duty to]
issue a proclamation extending the session for some further period

SEC. 4. And be it further enacted, That this new proposed
Constitutional amendment be and is hereby placed on the ballot at
the general election to be held in November, 1970, as a substitute
for and in lieu of Chapter 788 of the Acts of the General Assembly
of 1969, the original proposed Constitutional amendment, and the
original proposed Constitutional amendment shall not be placed on
the ballot at such time.
SEC. 5. And be it further enacted, That if it is determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction that the withdrawal and recall
of the original proposed Constitutional amendment as set forth in
Section 1, and the repeal of the original proposed Constitutional
amendment as set forth in Section 2, and the substitution of the
proposed Constitutional amendment as set forth in Section 4, are
ineffective, for any reason whatsoever, with the result that Chapter
788 of the Acts of the General Assembly of 1969, the original pro-
posed Constitutional amendment must be submitted to the voters at
the general election to be held in November of 1970, both the
original proposed Constitutional amendment and the new proposed
Constitutional amendment shall be put on the ballot at the general
election in November of 1970, as alternate measures to be voted on
by the people, but in the absence of such a judicial determination
only the new proposed Constitutional amendment shall be put on the
ballot.
SEC. 6. And be it further enacted, That if both proposed Con-
stitutional amendments are submitted to the voters at the general
election to be held in November of 1970, pursuant to Section 5, the
new proposed Constitutional amendment shall prevail over the
original proposed Constitutional amendment if both are ratified by
the voters, without regard to the respective margins by which each
of the Constitutional amendments is ratified; but if only one or the
other of the Constitutional amendments is ratified, the Constitu-
tional amendment which is approved shall be fully effective.
