STATE OF NEW YORK
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE

ALBANY, October 10, 1936 Pursuant to the directions of chapter 37, laws of 1909, entitled legislative law, I hereby certify that the following volume of the laws of this state was printed under my direction.

EDWARD J. FLYNN,

Secretary of State

Section 44 of the legislative law reads as follows:

§ 44. Statement in session laws as to passage of law. In the publication of every law, the certificates appended thereto shall be omitted, but there shall be inserted immediately under the title of the law, a statement to the effect that it became a law upon the properly specified date, with or without the approval of the governor, or notwithstanding his objections, as the case may be, and adding the words “passed by a two-thirds vote,” “passed, three-fifths being present,” or “passed, a majority being present," and the words “on emergency message'' if passed by a two-thirds vote on an emergency message from the governor, pursuant to section two of article twelve of the constitution, in accordance with the certificates appended to the original bill. In the case of an appropriation law passed pursuant to the provisions of article four-a of the constitution the statement in addition to the other matter prescribed in this section shall also be to the effect that part of it became a law upon a properly specified date by the action of both houses of the legislature and that part of it became a law upon a properly specified date with or without the approval of the governor, or notwithstanding his objections, as the case may be. Such statement shall be presumptive evidence that the original law was certified by the presiding officer of each house accordingly. (As amended by L. 1925, ch. 625; L. 1929, ch. 65.)
