Article VI, Section 22. [Reading of bills -- Bill to contain only one subject -- Bills
passed by majority.]
Every bill shall be read by title three separate times in each house except in cases where
two-thirds of the house where such bill is pending suspend this requirement. Except general
appropriation bills and bills for the codification and general revision of laws, no bill shall be
passed containing more than one subject, which shall be clearly expressed in its title. The vote
upon the final passage of all bills shall be by yeas and nays and entered upon the respective
journals of the house in which the vote occurs. No bill or joint resolution shall be passed except
with the assent of the majority of all the members elected to each house of the Legislature.
