13 General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to the General
14 Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House and the
15 Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General
16 Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those
17 suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action

19 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be
20 interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other
