inclusion of what is now 3.17 (A) find this particular
presentation acceptable. It would be my understanding,
of course, that there would be no question but that the
General Assembly would provide by rule those things which
are called for in 3.17 (A).
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any questions of the
sponsor of the amendment? Delegate Macdonald.
DELEGATE MACDONALD: I just have an observation.
THE CHAIRMAN: Make the observation.
DELEGATE MACDONALD: In the Article on the
Judicial Brnach we use the term "by rule" probably as a
term apart, and the court refers to a rule by the Court of
Appeals. Here we use the same term, and we obviously do not
mean the same thing. We can just call it to the attention
to the Committee on Style.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Gallagher.
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: I believe it is a word of
art insofar as the General Assembly is concerned because
both the house and senate does offer its own rules and it is
guided by them, so it has a distinct meaning when you are
dealing with matters pertaining to a legislative branch.
