Amendment 24

Notice of legislative matters

Ms. DiZoglio moves to amend the report by striking Rule 33A and inserting in place thereof the following new rule:-

"33A. All legislative matters receiving a Senate number shall be presented and made available to all the members of the Senate and to the public at least 72 hours in advance of consideration by the Senate.

All other amendments recommended by any committee, other than the Committee on Bills in the Third Reading, shall be subject to this rule.

This rule shall be suspended only upon a unanimous vote of the members present and voting; except in the event of an emergency, in which case this rule may be suspended by a 2/3 vote of the members present and voting. The latter shall be reserved for those instances in which the legislative matter must take effect immediately upon enactment in order to be effective for the purposes for which it is enacted."
