Section V-55: Appropriations - Necessity and requisites.

  No money shall ever be paid out of the treasury of this State,
nor any of its funds, nor any of the funds under its management,
except in pursuance of an appropriation by law, nor unless such
payments be made within two and one-half years after the passage
of such appropriation act, and every such law making a new
appropriation, or continuing or reviving an appropriation, shall
distinctly specify the sum appropriated and the object to which
it is to be applied, and it shall not be sufficient for such law
to refer to any other law to fix such sum.
