read:
"Section 2-1-180. The regular annual session of the General
Assembly shall adjourn sine die each year not later than 5:00 p.m. on
the first second Thursday in June
May. In any year that the House of Representatives fails to
give third reading to the annual General Appropriations Bill by

vote of both the Senate and House of Representatives. During the
time between 5:00 p.m. on the first second Thursday
in June May and the extended sine die adjournment
date, as set forth herein, no legislation or other business may
be considered except the General Appropriations Bill and any matters
approved for consideration by a concurrent resolution adopted by
two-thirds vote in both houses."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
