(Failed to carry at election.)

Legislative Bill 30, corresponding to Chapter 25 of the Session Laws of 1939 and consisting of three sections, proposed an amendment to the Constitution. Section 2 of the bill provided that an additional section should be inserted in Article XVII "to be known and numbered" as section 10. The amendment was rejected in the election of 1940. Legislative Bill 179, corresponding to Chapter 109 of the Session Laws for 1939, likewise proposed an amendment which was adopted. Section 2 of this bill provided that an additional section should be inserted in Article XVII "to be known and numbered" as section 11. For this reason there is no section 10 of Article XVII. If the amendment had been approved, Article IX, Section 4, of the Nebraska Constitution would have been amended, and this section would have read as follows: "This amendment (1940) shall be self-executing and legislation authorized hereby shall be supplemental hereto; and this amendment, except as otherwise herein specifically provided, shall be in full force and take effect on the first Thursday after the first Tuesday in January, 1941."
