Language of the Amendment:
The General Assembly may suspend or nullify any or all portions of any
administrative rule or regulation by joint resolution agreed to by a
majority of the
members elected to each house. When the General Assembly is not in a
regular

commissions as designated by the General Assembly may suspend any or

NOTE: Constitutional Amendments must pass a regular session of the
Assembly
following an election of Delegates, so if this amendment passes this
session, it
will have to pass again next year (there will be elections of delegates
this
November).
