 1 Section 1. Resolved (if the Senate concur), That section 3 of article

 7 subject shall be acted upon, except such as the governor may recommend
 8 for consideration. The governor shall communicate by message to the
 9 legislature at every session the condition of the state, and recommend
 10 such matters to it as [he or she] the governor's shall judge expedient.
 11 The message shall be delivered orally in the Assembly Chamber, during
 12 the first week of legislative session, with a quorum of the Assembly and
 13 a quorum of the Senate present. The governor shall expedite all such
 14 measures as may be resolved upon by the legislature, and shall take care
 15 that the laws are faithfully executed. The governor shall receive for
 16 [his or her] the governor's services an annual salary to be fixed by
 17 joint resolution of the senate and assembly, and there shall be provided
 18 for [his or her] the governor's use a suitable and furnished executive
 19 residence.
 20 § 2. Resolved (if the Senate concur), That the foregoing amendment be
 21 referred to the first regular legislative session convening after the
 22 next succeeding general election of members of the assembly, and, in
 23 conformity with section 1 of article 19 of the constitution, be
 24 published for 3 months previous to the time of such election.
