44-A.
Here we come to the major recommendation of
your committee, that the new Rule 46-A, set forth at the
bottom of Page 5 of the report, I think it is important
enough to read to you, "Rule 46-A, amendments to be
printed. No amendment to any committee recommendation or
delegate proposal shall be considered unless it is submitt
in writing and a copy thereof delivered to the floor
desk of each delegate prior to the time the
amendment is offered."
We had some advance indication of how this
procedure would work during the debate on the first report
of the Committee on General Provisions sealing with the
creation of a militia. There are a number of ways, I
suppose, one could deal with this problem. One could have
a hopper rule requiring that all amendments be in the
hopper by a certain time. This seemed unfair to all of
your committee. We could follow the procedure of the
General Assembly that when an amendment is offered there
be some layover time, usually a day, but then as the session
proceeds maybe for an hour. |
