amended form, that the leuislalurs
Intended to psbs. Two Important
amendments made by the senate and
which were agreed upon by a confer
ence committee of the two houses
wcro left out of the enrolled bill, ap
parently through error of the house
enrolled bills committee. The question
Is whether, sinro tho measure has
been signed by the governor, anyone
has authority to have it re-enrolled la
amended form.
First Form Given
In scrilon S of the printed hill is
a sentence relntiug to agreements be
tween mutual bank incorporators and
tho state superintendent of bunks,,
which in the original bill rend; "Such
agreement or undertaking shall fig
tho mnxlmum liability assumed there-,
by, which sliull be a rcnsunnblt '
amoiriit approved by the superintend
ent of banks nnd the same shall be
scoured to his satisfaction, which
curlty In his discretion may be by a
surety bond executed by a diimcslio
or foreign corporation authorised to
transact, with n this stele, the busi
ness of surety."
This sentence ns amended rend:
"Hindi agreement ur undertaking rlmll
fix the liability of the incorporators
Jointly and severally fur such reason
able amount as may be approved or
determined by the superintendent of
banks, and In addition to the under
taking of the incorporators Joiutly
and severally, the superintendent of
banks may require a surety bond ex
ecuted by a domestic or foreign cor
poration nulhorixed to transact, with
in tli s stnte, the btisinesM of silrelj.'
Sentence is Stricken
The second sentence after the above
was strickeu out by amendment, but
In the bill as signed by the governor
remains In the measure. It rend.:
"Such agreement or undertaking and
such security need not be made of
furnished unless the superintendent of
banks shall require the same."
The errors hm considered particu
larly serious since the mutual bank
ing bill is one of the most Important
acts passed by the legislature, anil
by some members was considered the
most important.
