This bill mandates that any legislation related to the annual appropriations act, known as the State budget bill, must undergo a minimum of two full calendar days between its second reading and its third reading in either house of the Legislature before it can be passed. Currently, there is a requirement for at least one full calendar day to elapse between these readings, but this can be waived if the bill is classified as an emergency and receives a three-fourths majority vote from the members of that house. The new legislation builds upon this by extending the waiting period to two days.

Additionally, the bill allows for the two-day waiting period to be waived through a similar three-fourths majority vote, providing flexibility in urgent situations. This change aims to ensure that legislators have adequate time to review the budget bill before final passage, promoting transparency and thorough consideration of the State's financial appropriations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
