"House Joint Resolution Constitutional Amendment #1, Madigan. Resolved, by the House of Representatives of the 84th General Assembly of the State of Illinois, the Senate concurring herein, that there shall be submitted to the electors of this state, for adoption or rejection at the general election next occurring at least six months after the adoption of this Resolution, a proposition to amend Section 9 of Article IV of the Constitution to read as follows: Article IV, Section 9. Veto Procedure. Every Bill passed by the General Assembly shall be presented to the Governor within thirty days after its passage. The forgoing requirement shall be judicially enforced. If the Governor approves the Bill he shall sign it, and it shall become law. If the Governor does not approve the Bill, he shall veto it by returning it with his objections to the House in which it originated. Any Bill not so returned by the Governor within sixty days after it is presented to him shall become law. If recess or adjournment of the General Assembly prevents the return of the Bill, the Bill and the Governor's objections shall be filed with the Secretary of State within such sixty calendar days. The Secretary of State shall return the Bill and objections to the originating House promptly so the next meeting of the same General Assembly at which the Bill can be considered. The House to which the Bill is returned shall immediately enter the Governor's objections upon its Journal. If within fifteen calendar days after such entry that House, by a record vote of three-fifths of the Members elected, passes the Bill, it shall be delivered immediately to the second House. If within fifteen days after such delivery the second House, by a record vote of three-fifths of the 2 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 3rd Legislative Day January 25, 1985 Members elected, passes the Bill, it shall become law. The Governor may reduce or veto any item of the appropriations in a Bill presented to him. Portions of a Bill not reduced or vetoed shall become law. Any item vetoed shall be returned to the House in which it originated and may become law in the same manner as the vetoed Bill. An item reduced in the amount shall be returned to the House in which it originated and may be restored to its original amount in the same manner as the vetoed Bill, except that the required record vote shall be the Majority of the Members elected to each House. If a reduced item is not so restored, it shall become law in the reduced amount. The Governor may return a Bill, together with specific recommendations for change, to the House in which it originated. The Bill shall be considered in the same manner as a vetoed Bill. Specific recommendations may be accepted by a record vote of the Majority of the Members elected to each House. Such Bill shall be presented again to the Governor; and, if he certifies that such acceptance conforms to his specific recommendations, the Bill shall become law. If he does not so certify, he shall return it as a vetoed Bill to the House in which it originated. Alternately, the Governor's specific recommendations for change may be rejected in the Bill's passage in the same manner as a vetoed Bill, except that the required record vote shall be a Majority of the Members elected to each House. If the recommendations are rejected and the Bill passed, it shall become a law in the form originally sent to the Governor. Schedule. This Amendment to Section 9 of Article IV of the Illinois Constitution takes effect upon its adoption by the electors of this state. First Reading of the Constitutional Amendment.

Resolved, by the 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 3rd Legislative Day January 25, 1985 House of Representatives of the 84th General Assembly of the State of Illinois, the Senate concurring herein, that there shall be submitted to the electors of this state, for adoption or rejection at the general election next occurring at least six months after the adoption of this Resolution, a proposition to add Section 9.1 to Article IX of the Constitution, an added Section to read as follows: Section 9.1. Limitations on the Imposition of New Taxes and the Increase of State Rates. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (C) of this Section, the effective date of any tax imposed by the state may not be increased except pursuant to the law passed by a vote of three-fifths of the Members elected to each House of the General Assembly. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (C) of this statute, no new tax may be imposed by the state except pursuant to a law passed by a vote of three-fifths of the Members elected to each House of the General Assembly. Prior to the beginning of each fiscal year of the state the General Assembly shall appropriate revenues of the state to pay interest on its debts and to which it has pledged its faith and credit and which interest is payable in the year for which such appropriation is made and to pay the principle of such debt payable in such year, whether at maturity or otherwise. To the extent that insufficient revenues of the state are available to pay the principle and interest on such debt when due and payable, the first public monies of the state thereafter received shall be set aside and applied to the payment of the principle and the interest on such debt. To make up any insufficient revenues the General Assembly may increase the rate of taxes or impose new taxes without regard to limitations of Subsection (A) and (B) of this Section after the failure to pay when due the principle of such 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 3rd Legislative Day January 25, 1985 and interest on such debt.
