There is a drafting and approval process for amendments.
| 1 |
Who drafts amendments? All amendments are drafted by Parliamentary Counsel. Instructions should be given to them as early as possible to allow sufficient time for drafting and discussions. |
|
|
2 |
Approving the draft The member needs to tell Parliamentary Counsel as soon as he or she approves the draft. Then: |
|
|
· |
Parliamentary Counsel send a copy to the Assembly Procedure Office. Staff, in consultation with the Clerk, check that the draft follows procedural and constitutional requirements. |
|
|
· |
after this check, Parliamentary Counsel send to the Procedure Office the final version of the amendment. |
|
|
· |
the Procedure Office prepares copies of the amendment. The copies are stored confidentially in the Assembly until the member is ready to circulate them during debate. |
