FLOOR AMENDMENT

TO

(03-H 5081 as amended)

Mr. Speaker:

I hereby move to amend (03-H 5081 as amended) entitled "JOINT RESOLUTION TO APPROVE AND PUBLISH AND SUBMIT TO THE ELECTORS A PROPOSITION OF AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE (SEPARATION OF POWERS)" as follows:

By inserting, on page 1, line 1, before the word "RESOLVED," the following language"

"WHEREAS, The proposed amendments to Article III, Section 6, Article V, Article VI, and Article IX, section 5 of the Constitution of the state are intended to have the collective effort of ensuring the separation of government power among the three distinct branches of state government: the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial branch; and are not intended to diminish or affect the nature and scope of each branch’s inherent power but, rather, to ensure that, absent express and lawful delegation, one branch does not exercise the power of another branch; and

WHEREAS, The addition of the words "separate and distinct" to Article V of the Constitution affirms that the three branches of government are and shall be separate from each other and distinct in the nature of the power exercised by each; except insofar as the general assembly chooses to delegate, according to law, certain of its legislative powers to the executive branch; and

WHEREAS, The deletion of Article VI, section 10 from the Constitution eliminates the provisions pursuant to which the general assembly has historically exercised power, executive in nature and in excess of its legislative power; but does not diminish or affect, in any way, the legislative power of the general assembly, which power the general assembly retains in full; and

WHEREAS, The amendment to Article III, section 6 of the Constitution, by providing expressly that no official or member of one branch of government shall hold simultaneously a position in another branch of government, further ensures the separation of governmental power among the three branches of state government; and

WHEREAS, The amendment to Article IX, section 5 of the Constitution vests in the governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, the power to appoint persons exercising executive power; except insofar as the general assembly may by law vest the power to appoint such inferior officers, as it deems proper, in the governor or in other specified officials of the department in which the appointment is to be made; and does not affect the appointment powers of the lieutenant governor, the treasurer, the attorney general, or the secretary of state; be it hereby".

Respectfully submitted,
