Provided the bill is in the possession of the house, a
						  vote passing or defeating a bill may be reconsidered on the same day the vote
						  was taken or within five succeeding legislative days or at any time after a
						  bill is recalled from the Governor upon written motion of two members and an
						  affirmative majority vote thereon and the question immediately recurs on the

Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart B - LEGISLATIVE PROCEDURE MANUAL › Chapter 9 - LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter B - CONSIDERATION OF BILLS › CONSIDERATION BY GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Section 9.89 - Concurrence in amendments by house of reference

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Concurrence.
-If a bill
						that has passed the house of origin is amended in the house of reference, it is
						sent back to the house of origin for its concurrence in the amendments. If the
						house of origin agrees to the amendments, the bill is ready for action by the
						Governor.
(b)
Nonconcurrence.
-If the house of origin does not agree to the
						amendments, it so advises the house of reference, which may then either give up
						its amendments, which is known as "receding from its amendments," and agree to
						the bill in the form in which it passed the house of origin, or it may insist
						on its amendments, in which case the house of origin may either agree to the
						amendments or again refuse to agree to them, which is known as "insisting on
						its nonconcurrence in the amendments" of the house of reference.
(c)
Vote on
						concurrence.
-Unless the house decides otherwise by unanimous consent,
						the vote on concurrence in amendments cannot be taken until the bills have been
						placed on the desks of the members and referred to on their calendars. The
						amendments must be concurred in by a majority vote of members elected to the
						house or, in the case of non-preferred appropriations, by a vote of two-thirds
						of the members elected to the house.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart B - LEGISLATIVE PROCEDURE MANUAL › Chapter 9 - LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter B - CONSIDERATION OF BILLS › CONSIDERATION BY CONFERENCE COMMITTEE › Section 9.101 - Committee appointment and referral of bills

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
If the house of origin refuses to concur in amendments
						  made by the house of reference, the bill is usually sent to a conference
						  committee (formally referred to as a committee of conference) made up of three
						  members from each house appointed by the presiding officers.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart B - LEGISLATIVE PROCEDURE MANUAL › Chapter 9 - LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter B - CONSIDERATION OF BILLS › CONSIDERATION BY CONFERENCE COMMITTEE › Section 9.102 - Scope of deliberations

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
The conference committee confines its deliberations to
						  the differences which exist between the two houses unless both houses direct a
						  free conference. In practice, frequently a conference committee enters upon a
						  complete reconsideration of the bill before it. The conference committee makes
						  such changes in the provisions of the bill as it believes will make the bill
						  acceptable to both houses, or it may decide to send the bill back without
						  change. In either case, the bill is reprinted following presentation of the
						  committee report. This print, unlike other prints following amendments, does
						  not indicate the changes made.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
Consideration of a report of a conference committee by
						  each house is in order after it has been printed (without indicating changes
						  made), placed on the desks of the members and listed on the
						  calendars.

						  number.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart B - LEGISLATIVE PROCEDURE MANUAL › Chapter 9 - LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter B - CONSIDERATION OF BILLS › AMENDMENTS › Section 9.116 - Printing of amended bills

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
General.
-Bills reported or re-reported from committee with
						amendments and bills on the calendar amended by the house must be reprinted and
						a new printer's number assigned before any action is taken thereon.
(b)
Form.
-In printing bills
						following amendments either in committee or on the floor, all language
						eliminated by the amendment appears in strike-out-type and all language
						inserted is in CAPITAL LETTERS. If the bill is again amended in the house of
						origin, everything appearing in strike-out-type in the former print is omitted
						from the new print, and the capital letters are changed to lower case. The same
						rule prevails in the case of the first amendment made by the house of
						reference. But if the house of reference amends the bill more than once, its
						former amendments are not eliminated from the print, because the house of
						origin uust have before it all amendments made by the house of reference in
						order to decide whether or not it will concur in the changes.
(c)
Conflicting
						amendments.
-Frequently, separate amendments which are in conflict with
						each other are adopted to the same printer's number. In such case, in inserting
						the adopted amendments into the bill for reprinting, the Bureau attempts to
						resolve this conflict. When the conflict cannot be resolved, a reprinted bill
						may contain conflicting provisions. While the Bureau attempts to alert the
						leadership of the house in which the bill is under consideration as to the
						conflict, it is necessary for the house to carefully review the new print and
						correct the conflict by amendment or other appropriate action.
(d)
Corrective
						reprints.
-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
						caption "CORRECTIVE REPRINT" at the top of the first page of the bill. If the
						words "HOUSE AMENDED" or "SENATE AMENDED" also appear, they are immediately
						preceded on a separate line by "CORRECTIVE REPRINT". The form of the bill is
						not changed to show the error or the correction.
(e)
Receding from
						amendments.
-If a bill has been amended and reprinted and thereafter an
						amendment is reconsidered and defeated, the amendment is removed from the bill
						and the new print will be reproduced as if the amendment had not been adopted.
						The action line on the new print will carry the information that the amendment
						was reconsidered.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 101 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY › Part I - LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU › Subpart B - LEGISLATIVE PROCEDURE MANUAL › Chapter 9 - LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS › Subchapter B - CONSIDERATION OF BILLS › AMENDMENTS › Section 9.117 - Reverting to prior print

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
If it is desired to restore a bill to its condition in
						  an earlier print, it is not necessary to adopt a new amendment in the house of
						  introduction but it may be accomplished by a motion to restore the bill to a
						  former designated printer's number. If the motion is carried the printer's
						  number designated will be placed on the calendar for further action, and all
						  subsequent printer's numbers of the same bill will become inactive, thus saving
						  considerable time, effort and money in avoiding further
						  reprinting.

						  adjournment.

						acted upon may be brought up for consideration during the second regular
						session.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
The official certified copy of each bill which becomes
						  a law is placed in the custody of the Secretary of the Commonwealth and filed
						  in the Department of State. It then loses its identity as a bill and becomes an
						  "Act of the General Assembly." Each statute is assigned an act number in the
						  chronological order in which they are finally enacted beginning with No. 1 for
						  the first bill enacted by the General Assembly during each regular or special
						  session. When published in the Laws of Pennsylvania, each statute is assigned a
						  "P. L." number conforming to the number of the page of the Laws of Pennsylvania
						  where the statute begins.

(a)
General rule.
-Statutes enacted at any regular or special
						session are effective 60 days after final enactment unless a different date is
						specified in the statute itself. If a statute is finally enacted after the date
						specified in the statute, the statute is effective 60 days after final
						enactment. Different rules apply to various statutes finally enacted prior to
						June 6, 1969.
(b)
Statutes
						making appropriations.
-Appropriation statutes, or statutes having
						appropriation items, are effective on the first day of July next following
						their final enactment, unless a different date is specified in the statute
						itself, or unless any such statute is enacted finally after the first day of
						July in any year, or after the date specified in the statute, in which case it
						is effective immediately upon final enactment.
(c)
Statutes affecting political
						subdivision budget.
-Statutes affecting the budget of any political
						subdivision are effective on the date specified in the statute, or if no date
						is specified, then at the beginning of the fiscal year of the political
						subdivision affected following the date of final enactment of the
						statute.
(d)
Provisions
						changed by amendment.
-Whenever a section or part of a statute is
						amended, the amendment is construed as merging into the original statute,
						becomes a part thereof, and replaces the part amended, and the remainder of the
						original statute and the amendment are read together and viewed as one statute
						passed at one time; but the portions of the statute which were not altered by
						the amendment are construed as effective from the time of their original
						enactment, and the new provisions are construed as effective only from the date
						when the amendment became effective.
(e)
Provisions of reenacted
						statute.
-Whenever a statute reenacts a former statute, the provisions
						common to both statutes date from their first adoption. Such provisions only of
						the former statute as are omitted from the reenactment are deemed abrogated,
						and only the new or changed provisions are deemed to be the law from the
						effective date of the reenactment.
