When
laws to take effect -- Emergency legislation.
No act,
except general appropriation bills, shall become a law until ninety days after the
adjournment of the session at which it was passed, except in cases of emergency, when, by
the concurrence of a majority of the members elected to each House of the General
Assembly, by a yea and nay vote entered upon their journals, an act may become a law when
approved by the Governor; but the reasons for the emergency that justifies this action
must be set out at length in the journal of each House.
