rules, in relation to amendment of bills

RESOLVED, That section 6 of Rule III of the Assembly rules is amended to
read as follows:
ยบ 6. Amendments.

ment correctly marked thereon and six copies of the detailed description
of such amendment to the Clerk of the Assembly.
b. A copy of each amendment offered by the sponsor of a bill shall be
provided by Journal Operations to the chairperson and ranking minority

the desk of each member of the House. When there is more than one amend-
ment to a bill and one of such amendments is adopted, any of the other
amendments so offered shall, if so requested by the member offering

distribute copies of the bill with the amendment correctly marked there-
