9 | (b) of Section 5 of Article IV of the
Illinois Constitution or | ||||||

General Assembly is convened to consider bills | ||||||
11 | vetoed, item vetoed, reduced, or
returned with specific | ||||||
12 | recommendations for change by the Governor as provided
in | ||||||
13 | Section 9 of Article IV of the Illinois Constitution. | ||||||

26 | paid to the surviving
spouse of such member, or, if there be |
| |||||||
| |||||||

6 | General Assembly is mandatorily required to forfeit one day of | ||||||
7 | compensation. The State Comptroller shall deduct the | ||||||
