A JOINT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE 1995 GENERAL ASSEMBLY, REGULAR SESSION 1996, TO CONSIDER A JOINT RESOLUTION TO EXTEND FOR ONE WEEK SINE DIE ADJOURNMENT OF THE 1995 REGULAR SESSION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO ALLOW THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS TO BE COMPLETED.
Whereas, there are many pressing issues facing the 1995 Regular Session that cannot be properly resolved prior to the scheduled sine die adjournment on Friday, June 21, 1996; and
Whereas, those pressing issues include education of our children, environmental protection, equitable tax legislation, children's issues, salaries of teachers and State employees, economic development, and church burnings; and
Whereas, the people's business is best transacted on an orderly basis; and
Whereas, if the General Assembly adjourned sine die without completing the people's business and the Governor called an extra session, all pending legislation would have to start the legislative process again; and
Whereas, it would be more efficient and cost-effective to extend for one week the sine die adjournment deadline for the 1995 Regular Session; 
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
Section 1. The 1995 General Assembly, Regular Session 1996, may consider "A JOINT RESOLUTION TO EXTEND SINE DIE ADJOURNMENT OF THE 1995 REGULAR SESSION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO ALLOW THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS TO BE COMPLETED."
Sec. 2.  This resolution is effective upon ratification.
