Assembly amendment 1 to Part 2 of assembly amendment 4 to assembly substitute amendment 3 to Assembly Bill 38 offered by Representative Welch.
[Note:] Dividing A.Amdt-4, while proper, was unnecessary. A.Amdt-4 to A.Sub.Amdt-3 to AB 38 was only an amendment in the 1st degree [see A.Rule 52 (2) (a)] and "an amendment to a simple amendment to a substitute amendment is in order". Thus, what was Div-1 could have been an amendment to A.Amdt-4 to delete "or incest", and what was Div-2 an amendment to delete "rape or".
Nobody raised a point of order that amendments 1, 2 and 3 to "Part 2 of A.Amdt-4" were "improperly drafted" because the rules do not authorize amendinga division. The acquiescence was treated as "unanimous consent". The amendments were debated; amendment 3 was adopted; and it was left to the skill of the drafting department to sort it all out on the next day.
Representative Loftus moved rejection of assembly amendment 1 to Part 2 of assembly amendment 4 to assembly substitute amendment 3 to Assembly Bill 38. The assembly stood informal.
Representative Loftus asked unanimous consent that assembly amendment 4 to assembly substitute amendment 3 to Assembly Bill 38 be placed after assembly amendment 8 to assembly substitute amendment 3 to Assembly Bill 38. Granted. [Intervening text omitted.]
