§ 44. Printing of session laws. The temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the assembly or a person or persons designated by each legislative leader shall annually cause the session laws to be printed in a bound volume or volumes as soon as possible after the adjournment of the legislature. Each such law shall be printed in the same form as the official copy of the bill which became such law except that line numbers, the printed number of the bill and explanatory matter shall be omitted. 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 majority vote," "passed by a two-thirds vote," or "passed by a majority vote, three-fifths being present," and if passed on a message required by the constitution, that fact also shall be stated, and, if the certificate so specifies, the applicable portion of the constitution shall be identified, in accordance with the certificates appended to the original bill. In the case of an appropriation law passed pursuant to the provisions of sections three and four of article seven 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.
The temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the assembly shall determine the price at which copies of such session laws shall be made available to the public. Such copies may be made available in paperback editions.
The legislature may appropriate such state moneys as may be necessary to secure the printing of the session laws in accordance with the provisions of this section.
