Section VI-14: Adjournment of Legislature - Changing place of meeting.

  In case of a disagreement between the two houses of the
Legislature, at a regular or special session, with respect to the
time of adjournment, the Governor may, if the facts be certified
to him, by the presiding officer of the house first moving the
adjournment, adjourn them to such time as he shall deem proper,
not beyond the day of the next stated meeting of the Legislature.
He may convoke the Legislature at or adjourn it to another place,
when, in his opinion, the public safety or welfare, or the safety
or health of the members require it:  Provided, however, That
such change or adjournment shall be concurred in by a two-thirds
vote of all the members elected to each branch of the
Legislature.
