Editor's Note
Part 8 of this chapter was re-enacted without change by 1972 Act No. 1343 (1972 (57) 2518), the preamble to which act reads as follows:
"Whereas, Part 8 of Article 2 of Act 1065 of 1966 was added to the act by amendment from the floor during its debate and passage in the General Assembly and the amendment was not reflected in the title of the act and has been held in the circuit courts of the State to be invalid because the amendment did not meet the requirements of Section 17 of Article III of the Constitution of this State which states 'Every act or resolution having the force of law shall relate to but one subject and that shall be expressed in the title', and.
"Whereas, in order to make the provisions of Part 8 of Article 2 valid, the members of the General Assembly believe that Part 8 of Article 2 as reenacted herein shall cure any constitutional invalidity and that after passage of this act no constitutional question shall attach to the provisions thereof."
