This section was repealed August 5, 1969.
Editor Comments
The former section was adopted in 1876 and never amended.
It mandated that the Legislature "pass such laws as may be necessary to carry into effect the provisions of this Constitution."
Categorized as "deadwood," it and numerous other sections were repealed in 1969 by the same ballot proposition.
Recent Decisions
None.
