    15    §  3.  No  expenditure may be made from any appropriation in this act,

    18  state comptroller, the chairman of the senate finance committee and  the

    20  that any expenditures from any appropriation in this  act  made  by  the
    21  legislature or judiciary shall not require such certificate.

    22    §  4.  All  expenditures  and disbursements made against the appropri-
    23  ations in this act shall, upon final action by the legislature on appro-
    24  priation bills submitted by the governor pursuant to article VII of  the

    37  ment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of

    43  comptroller as provided in section four of this act, the  appropriations
    44  made by this act and subject to such section shall be deemed repealed.
