Legal notice details measures proposed by the 1976 second session with explanations in italics by the Legislative Council executive board outlining the amendments and their purpose.
The 1975 76 legislature proposes amending the constitution to allow final passage votes without full bill readings by rule. A vote for removes the current requirement. a vote against retains it. The amendment targets the long standing mandated reading of every bill before final passage.

The text specifies reading requirements final passage delays final action and quorum rules with a range of section changes and transitional language.
The text outlines Proposed Amendments No. 5 and No. 6 to Article VIII. Amendment 5 would authorize local governments to incur indebtedness to acquire and redevelop blighted property and levy taxes on new valuations to repay bonds, with conditions set by the Legislature. Amendment 6 would let the state or subdivisions contract with non-public, nonsectarian educational providers for handicapped children and permit limited nonsectarian aid to non-public postsecondary students, with public funds matching only nonsectarian purposes.

The 90 day session would occur in December of even years and the 60 day session in December of odd years. Terms would begin on the new December date, while current January convening dates and session schedules would be retained for the opposite parity years.
