HJR 5, the second constitutional amendment regarding governmental indebtedness, has passed the House on a 57-12 vote, well above the two-thirds mark needed. This measure deals with indebtedness of public airports; it now moves to the Senate. Constitutional amendments require two-thirds votes in each house of the Legislature plus a majority vote of the people at the next general election to take effect. The first to move through the House dealt with hospital district debt; one still awaiting a House vote involves debt for municipal power systems.
