Assembly Resolution No. 822

BY: M. of A. Kolb

AMENDING subdivision a of section 3 of Rule III of
the Assembly rules, in relation to processing of
multi-sponsorship forms

RESOLVED, That subdivision a of section 3 of Rule III of the
Assembly rules is amended to read as follows:

a. Any number of members of the Assembly may join in the
multi-sponsorship of a bill. When a bill is first introduced and before
it is printed, the names of all multi-sponsors shall appear on the
printed bill upon the following conditions:

(1) Multi-sponsors shall file a written or electronic request to act
as such with the Index Clerk of the Assembly on forms provided. The
request so filed shall indicate that the first name appearing on the
bill shall be deemed the introducer and all others deemed
multi-sponsors.

(2) All multi-sponsorship forms signed by the introducer and the
multi-sponsor must be processed by the Index Clerk within five days of
the date of submission.

(3) The introducer shall at all times retain exclusive control of the
bill.

[(3)] (4) After a multi-sponsored bill has been printed, any
multi-sponsor desiring to withdraw from such multi-sponsorship shall
file a written request on forms provided, so that such member's name
will be stricken as a multi-sponsor from the records of the Index Clerk.
The printed bill, however, shall not be reprinted.
