SE PROHIBIT THE ADOPTION OF BILLS CONTAINING BOTH APPROPRIATIONS LANGUAGE AND "SUBSTANTIVE" LANGUAGE. RATHER, ACCORDING TO THESE OPINIONS, WHICH BOTH RELY HEAVILY UPON THE COURT'S RULING IN DRAPER, THE KEY TEST IS WHETHER THE TERMS OF ANY GIVEN BILL ARE "LOGICALLY AND NATURALLY CONNECTED" TO THE SUBJECT OF THE BILL.
I HAVE TAKEN THE LIBERTY OF INCLUDING WITH THIS LETTER FOR YOUR USE COPIES OF THE DRAPER DECISION, AS WELL AS OF ATTORNEY GENERAL OPINION NOS. 83-186 AND 86-099. I HOPE THIS INFORMATION IS OF ASSISTANCE TO YOU. IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS LETTER OR THE REASONS BEHIND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S FEELINGS THAT THESE PRIOR OPINIONS RESOLVE YOUR QUESTION, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT YOUR CONVENIENCE.
