5A Disagreement between the two Houses--appropriation for annual services
(1) If the Legislative Assembly passes any Bill appropriating revenue or
moneys for the ordinary annual services of the Government and the Legislative
Council rejects or fails to pass it or returns the Bill to the Legislative
Assembly with a message suggesting any amendment to which the Legislative
Assembly does not agree, the Legislative Assembly may direct that the Bill
with or without any amendment suggested by the Legislative Council, be
presented to the Governor for the signification of His Majesty's pleasure
thereon, and shall become an Act of the Legislature upon the Royal Assent
being signified thereto, notwithstanding that the Legislative Council has not
consented to the Bill.
(2) The Legislative Council shall be taken to have
failed to pass any such Bill, if the Bill is not returned to the Legislative
Assembly within one month after its transmission to the Legislative Council
and the Session continues during such period.
(3) If a Bill which
appropriates revenue or moneys for the ordinary annual services of the
Government becomes an Act under the provisions of this section, any provision
in such Act dealing with any matter other than such appropriation shall be of
no effect.
