The legislature may provide that amendments to such laws of the United States shall become the law of the State upon their becoming the law of the United States.

The legislature may in so defining income make exceptions, additions or modifications to any provisions of the laws of the United States so referred to and provide for retrospective exceptions or modifications to those provisions which are retrospective.
