Revision
of statutes to conform to Constitution.
Upon
the promulgation of this Constitution, the Governor shall appoint three persons, learned
in the law, who shall be Commissioners to revise the statute laws of this Commonwealth,
and prepare amendments thereto, to the end that the statute laws shall conform to and
effectuate this Constitution. Such revision and amendments shall be laid before the next
General Assembly for adoption or rejection, in whole or in part. The said Commissioners
shall be allowed ten dollars each per day for their services, and also necessary
stationery for the time during which they are actually employed; and upon their
certificate the Auditor shall draw his warrant upon the Treasurer. They shall have the
power to employ clerical assistants, at a compensation not exceeding ten dollars per day
in the aggregate. If the Commissioners, or any of them, shall refuse to act, or a vacancy
shall occur, the Governor shall appoint another or others in his or their place.
