SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 22 Offered January 10, 2001 Prefiled January 4, 2001 Amending Rule 26 (b) of the Rules of the Senate, relating to introduction of bills and resolutions. ---------- Patron-- Trumbo ---------- Referred to Committee on Rules ----------

RESOLVED by the Senate, That Rule 26(b) of the Rules of the Senate be amended and readopted as follows:

IX. Order of Business

26 (b). No bill expressly amending any existing law shall be offered by any member unless or until the original and all copies thereof have been prepared so as to indicate deletions and additions. Each bill or resolution shall be signed by at least one Senator or by the Clerk of the Senate upon authorization of a member who has become incapacitated. Any bill or resolution introduced in the Senate may show as "House Patrons" the signatures of members of the House of Delegates. The title of any bill having any provisions pertaining to taxation or revenues shall so indicate. The form for deletions and additions shall be to set forth the material deleted with lines through such material, e.g., deleted material or words, and to underscore the words added, before they are received in the Senate. However, the stricken material and underscoring and italics in the printed bill, enrolled bills, and printed Acts shall not be considered evidence of all amendments to any bill or existing statute, but merely as an aid for quick reference to amended portions. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring the use of stricken material or underscoring when new words are substituted for existing words where the new words or the omission of words does not change the sense or meaning of the act.
