Section 60 General law not to be made special or local by amendment -- No special
powers or privileges -- Law not to take effect on approval of other authority
than General Assembly -- Exceptions.
The General Assembly shall not indirectly enact any special or local act by the
repeal in part of a general act, or by exempting from the operation of a general act any
city, town, district or county; but laws repealing local or special acts may be enacted. No
law shall be enacted granting powers or privileges in any case where the granting of such
powers or privileges shall have been provided for by a general law, nor where the courts
have jurisdiction to grant the same or to give the relief asked for. No law, except such as
relates to the sale, loan or gift of vinous, spirituous or malt liquors, bridges, turnpikes or
other public roads, public buildings or improvements, fencing, running at large of stock,
matters pertaining to common schools, paupers, and the regulation by counties, cities,
towns or other municipalities of their local affairs, shall be enacted to take effect upon the
approval of any other authority than the General Assembly, unless otherwise expressly
provided in this Constitution.
