Amendment #2 to H543

2017 Start Date

Mr. Lyons of Andover moves to amend the bill by deleting before the enacting clause the following emergency preamble:- “Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to provide forthwith voters with a clearer understanding of the source of funding for political advertisements, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience,”; and further, by inserting after section 1 the following new section:-

"SECTION XXXX. Notwithstanding the provisions of any general or special law to the contrary, the provisions of this bill shall not take effect until January 1, 2017."
