“No bill ... shall contain more than one subject, which shall be expressed in its title. But if any subject shall be embraced in an act, which shall not be expressed in the title, such act shall be void only as to so much thereof as shall not be expressed.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Stewart v. State · Wright v. State“If [an average legislator or interested citizen] interested in legislation on a particular subject would be prompted by the title to examine the body of the bill for provisions relating to that subject, then the title is sufficient. But if he would be likely to get the impression from the title that further reading is unnecessary because the bill does not relate to that subject then the bill is unconstitutional to the extent that it deals with that subject.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissente.g. Morgan v. State · Wright v. State“that the Controlled Substances Act stands as though H.B. 730 had never been enacted.”
