§ 8. Budget adoption schedule. Within ten days of submission of the
budget by the Governor, the Speaker shall promulgate a schedule of dates
for consideration and passage of the budget appropriation and related
bills. Such dates shall include dates for public hearings on such bills,
dates for the issuance of forecasts and dates for the passage of such
appropriation bills. Such schedule, to the extent practicable, shall be
promulgated jointly with the Temporary President of the Senate.
Provided, however, upon the adoption of a budget adoption schedule
pursuant to Joint Rule II, the provisions of such Joint Rule shall
supercede the provisions of this section.
