C. The general appropriation bill in effect for the immediately preceding fiscal year does not CONTINUE in effect for the new fiscal year if the general appropriation bill in effect for the immediately preceding fiscal year, after being adjusted as required by subsection B of this section, together with any other appropriations required by law in the new fiscal year, appropriates an amount that exceeds the projected general fund revenues for the new fiscal year. D. The legislature may enact laws to enforce this section. CONST 2.
