| General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to the General |
| 5 |
| Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House and the |

| Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General |
| 7 |
| Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those |
| 8 |
| suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action |
| 9 |
| in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this |
