 11 (b) the proposed legislation, if any, recommended therein, which shall
 12 be in a nonappropriation bill or bills separate and distinct from the
 13 appropriation bill or bills.
 14 The governor may at any time within thirty days thereafter and, with
 15 the consent of the legislature, at any time before the adjournment ther-

 17 submitted by him or her or submit supplemental bills.
 18 The governor and the heads of departments shall have the right, and it
 19 shall be the duty of the heads of departments when requested by either
 20 house of the legislature or an appropriate committee thereof, to appear
 21 and be heard in respect to the budget during the consideration thereof,
 22 and to answer inquiries relevant thereto. The procedure for such appear-
 23 ances and inquiries shall be provided by law.
