General.
If the bill is again amended in the house of origin,

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
Occasionally, bills reprinted for the purpose of
						  incorporating amendments adopted by either house or a committee contain errors
						  which merit correction before consideration by the house having possession of
						  the bill. In such case, the bill is reprinted without formal amendment with the

						  action of both houses where bills and joint resolutions are not appropriate.
						  The procedure for preparing and introducing resolutions (except joint
						  resolutions), motions and citations is generally the same. Accordingly, a
						  reference contained in §§
												17.42 to
						  17.50 (relating to resolutions,
						  motions and citations) shall also be deemed a reference to a motion and
						  citation unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Motions.
A motion may be oral or written. Motions may be used
						to adjourn or recess (except where a concurrent resolution is required), concur
						or nonconcur in amendments by house of reference, recede from amendments
						nonconcurred in by other house, insist on amendments nonconcurred in by other
						house, call for the previous question, raise a question of order or privilege,
						reconsider a vote or question, postpone action, commit or recommit to a
						committee, lay on or take from the table, amend a motion, limit or extend
						debate and to bring other matters before the house not otherwise provided
						for.
(b)
Citations.

						only by the House for the purpose of extending congratulations to a particular
						person or for a special occasion. In the Senate, a resolution is used to
						accomplish the same purpose.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart C - LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING MANUAL › Chapter 17 - OTHER LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter B - RESOLUTIONS, MOTIONS AND CITATIONS › GENERAL › Section 17.45 - Form generally

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
General.
The form of Senate, House and concurrent resolutions
						is substantially the same except that resolutions to be presented in the
						Senate, whether a Senate resolution or a concurrent resolution, carry the
						Senate date line and any distinctive language contained in the resolution which
						indicates the fact that it originates in the Senate. Likewise, resolutions
						presented in the House are similarly identified.
(b)
Titles.
Resolutions,
						motions and citations do not contain titles expressing the subject of the
						contents as in the case of bills and joint resolutions.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart C - LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING MANUAL › Chapter 17 - OTHER LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter B - RESOLUTIONS, MOTIONS AND CITATIONS › GENERAL › Section 17.46 - Date line

						  to be used in the House, the date line will read "In the House of
						  Representatives."
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart C - LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING MANUAL › Chapter 17 - OTHER LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter B - RESOLUTIONS, MOTIONS AND CITATIONS › GENERAL › Section 17.47 - Preamble

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
General.
Some resolutions and citations begin with a preamble
						which is usually divided into several paragraphs, each of which may, but does
						not necessarily begin with the word "WHEREAS," which, when used, is always
						written in capital letters. Each paragraph of the preamble concludes with a
						semicolon immediately followed by the word "and." The last paragraph of the
						preamble concludes with a semicolon, even though it is the end of a complete
						sentence, and is immediately followed by the words, "therefore be it" with no
						punctuation.
(b)
Citations.
Citations and congratulatory or condolence
						resolutions vary from the form of other resolutions in that the preamble
						usually contains one "WHEREAS" at the beginning and the last paragraph
						concludes with a period.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart C - LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING MANUAL › Chapter 17 - OTHER LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter B - RESOLUTIONS, MOTIONS AND CITATIONS › GENERAL › Section 17.48 - Body

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
General.
The resolution itself may be in one or more
						paragraphs. Each paragraph begins with the word "RESOLVED," which is always
						written in capital letters. If it is a concurrent resolution to be introduced
						in the Senate, the word "RESOLVED," is immediately followed by "(the House of
						Representatives concurring),". In both cases, this is immediately followed by
						the word "That". In the case of a Senate resolution or a House resolution, the
						words in parentheses are omitted and the word "That" immediately follows the
						word "RESOLVED,". If there is more than one paragraph in the resolution, each
						paragraph, other than the last, ends with a semicolon, even though it may be at
						the end of a complete sentence, and the semicolon is followed by the words,
						"and be it further" without any punctuation. The following paragraph commences
						with the words "RESOLVED, That."
(b)
Citations.
Citations and
						congratulatory or condolence resolutions vary from the form of other
						resolutions in that the body usually consists of one paragraph beginning with
						"Now therefore, the Senate (or House of Representatives)" and ends with "and
						further directs that a copy of this citation be transmitted to" or "and further
						directs that a copy of this resolution, sponsored by Senator ____________ , be
						transmitted to".
(c)
Motions.
A motion is usually in a form similar to the
						following:
"Moved by the gentleman from ___ , Mr. ___ and seconded
						  by the gentleman from ___ Mr. ___ that the vote by which House Bill No. ___ ,
						  Printer's No. ___ entitled ' ___ ' was defeated on final passage on Tuesday,
						  May 12, 1955, be reconsidered."

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
Eight copies are made of each resolution. None of the
						  copies are backed. The eight copies are placed in a folder addressed to the

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
While a joint resolution is not a bill in the usual
						  sense, it is prepared in the form of a bill and amended in the same
						  manner.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart C - LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING MANUAL › Chapter 17 - OTHER LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter B - RESOLUTIONS, MOTIONS AND CITATIONS › JOINT RESOLUTIONS › Section 17.63 - Title

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
General.
Joint resolutions do not require new matter in the
						title since the constitutional requirements relating to bills are not
						applicable. However, it is very helpful to have a title containing new matter
						which can usually be stated in a very few words.
(b)
Form.
The title of a
						joint resolution may be in substantially the following form:
"A JOINT RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the
						  Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, reducing the number of senatorial and
						  representative districts."
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart C - LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING MANUAL › Chapter 17 - OTHER LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter B - RESOLUTIONS, MOTIONS AND CITATIONS › JOINT RESOLUTIONS › Section 17.64 - Resolving clause

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
General.
Each joint resolution includes a section or sections
						containing instructions in substantially the following form followed by the
						provision added or amended containing brackets to show deletions and
						underscoring to show additions:
Section 1.
						The following amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
						is proposed in accordance with the provisions of the eleventh article thereof:
"That section sixteen, article two of the Constitution
						  of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania be amended to read:"

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
Occasionally, the provision amended is followed by a
						  schedule containing temporary provisions such as the time the amendment is to
						  be effective. The schedule, which is not officially a part of the Constitution,
						  may be in substantially the following form:
"SCHEDULE
The foregoing amendment to article two of the
						  Constitution of Pennsylvania shall become effective the year following that in
						  which the next Federal decennial census is officially reported as required by
						  Federal law."
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart C - LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING MANUAL › Chapter 17 - OTHER LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter C - MISCELLANEOUS › BILL ANALYSES › Section 17.71 - Use and scope

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
General.
Bill analyses are summaries prepared by the Bureau
						describing the contents of certain bills and joint resolutions. The purpose of
						the analysis is to provide an objective expert legal analysis of the contents
						of the bill and is only the analyser's opinion of what the bill does. The word
						opinion used in this context refers only to the legal aspects of a bill and not
						to its merits. The opinion of the analyser on the merits of a bill has no place
						in an analysis, and he must exercise great care that his opinion is not
						discernible through a reading of his work. In other words, he must be
						completely impartial to all but the technical aspects of each bill he
						analyzes.
(b)
Amendments.
As the bill is amended on its course through both
						houses, subsequent analyses are made, but these are limited to the effect of
						the amendments, with reference made to prior analyses.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart C - LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING MANUAL › Chapter 17 - OTHER LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter C - MISCELLANEOUS › BILL ANALYSES › Section 17.72 - Contents

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
The form which the analysis will take is usually
						  determined by the nature and arrangement of the bill under consideration. Hard
						  and fast rules for the arrangement of an analysis are impractical, but in most
						  cases the analysis will include:
(1) A
						statement of the primary purpose of the bill.
(2) Any question as to the constitutionality
						of the bill.
(3) If an amendment to
						existing law, a brief explanation of other provisions of the same statute, if
						any, which will be affected, or an understanding of which are necessary to
						comprehend the full import of the bill.
(4) A summary of the specific provisions
						through which the purpose of the bill will be achieved.
(5) A statement of the effect, if any, upon
						existing law.

Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart C - LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING MANUAL › Chapter 17 - OTHER LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter C - MISCELLANEOUS › CONFERENCE REPORTS › Section 17.81 - Form generally

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
Conference reports are in the form of a bill preceded
						  by a report of a conference committee proposing a revision of the bill for
						  consideration by the General Assembly. Reports are prepared in quadruplicate by
						  the Bureau by indicating the changes on the appropriate print of the bill under
						  consideration.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart C - LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING MANUAL › Chapter 17 - OTHER LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter C - MISCELLANEOUS › CONFERENCE REPORTS › Section 17.82 - Print used for preparation

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
Conference reports are usually prepared by indicating
						  changes to be made on four copies of the last print of the bill. This, however,
						  is not an unbending rule as in the case of amendments to bills. It may
						  sometimes be more convenient to use another print especially where the
						  conference committee decides not to use the amendments last made. If a prior
						  report was made, that print should be used for preparing the
						  report.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart C - LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING MANUAL › Chapter 17 - OTHER LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter C - MISCELLANEOUS › CONFERENCE REPORTS › Section 17.83 - Preparation of bill

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
General.
In preparing the proper print of the bill everything
						to be omitted must be effectively lined out and inserts must be clearly
						indicated and legible.
(b)
Mechanics of preparation.
A line is drawn by blue pencil
						through everything appearing on the bill above the title, except the words
						"Printer's No," and also all language which is to be omitted from the
						conference committee report. Any language that is to be inserted in the report
						is typewritten on small tabs of paper which are pasted on the margin of the
						printed bill, interlined in blue pencil at the proper point; the purpose being
						that when the report is printed, it will appear as a new bill with no
						indications of prior amendments. All amendments appearing in capital letters
						are marked "L C" except initial letters that should remain capitalized. These
						letters are doubly underscored to indicate that they remain in capital
						letters.
(c)
Precautions
						for amendatory bills.
If the subject of the conference report is an
						amendatory bill, the same precautions must be taken as in writing a new
						amendatory bill. It must be checked for over-looked prior amendments. The text
						of the statute cited for amendment must be compared with the Laws of
						Pennsylvania. The use of brackets and underscoring must be carefully verified
						especially in language introduced in the bill by amendment.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart C - LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING MANUAL › Chapter 17 - OTHER LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter C - MISCELLANEOUS › CONFERENCE REPORTS › Section 17.84 - Preparation of report

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
General.
The report of the conference committee consists of a
						completed printed form of a report which is folded around the prepared print of
						the bill. A blue form is used for House bills and a yellow or white form is
						used for Senate bills. The printed form contains lines for signatures of the
						members of the conference committee which are left blank.
(b)
Printer's and bill
						numbers.
In the upper left hand corner of the form appear the words
						"Previous Printer's Nos." After this is typed all of the printer's numbers,
						including the latest print, that have been assigned to the bill each time it
						has been printed. On the same line and to the right is typed "Printer's No."
						but with no number inserted. This is left blank. It is for the new printer's
						number that will be assigned it for the new print. Just below in spaces left
						for the purpose is typed "Senate" or "House" and the bill number.
(c)
Title of bill.
In the
						space following "entitled," is copied in quotation marks the title of the bill
						as it appears on the last (or active) print, or as much of the title as the
						space provided will permit. Even when the conference report changes the title
						of the bill, the title as it appears on the last printed (or active) copy of
						the bill is used. The bill was referred to the committee by this title, and its
						report must conform to the commitment. The changed title appears only on the
						bill recommended by the committee.

						and the words, "Conference Report on Senate (or House) Bill No. 310."
(b)
Bureau folder.
In the
						upper left hand corner of the tab on the folder, in place of the classification
						number, is written in the case of Senate bills "S.B.692" and in the case of
						House bills "H.B. 386." Immediately following is written the initials of the
						draftsman preparing the report, followed by the initials of the typist copying
						them. In the upper right hand corner appear the name of the person for whom
						they are written, and the date on which they are written. In place of the title
						of the bill, are written only the words "CONFERENCE REPORT."
