Resolved by the House of Delegates:
That House Rule No. 125 be amended to read as follows:
Amendments to Senate Bills
125. Any Senate bill or resolution may be amended in the same
manner as a House bill or resolution. If a Senate bill or
resolution is amended, the same shall be noted by the Clerk on the
Jacket containing same before it is reported to the Senate.
After the reading of a Senate amendment to a House bill or
resolution, the question shall be, "Will the House concur in the
Senate Amendment?" But it shall be in order to move that the House
concur in the Senate amendment with an amendment solely to correct
deficiencies of a purely technical nature, such as misspellings and
not in the form of a strike and insert amendment for the entire
Senate amendment; or that the House refuse to concur and ask the
Senate to recede.
If the Senate shall refuse to concur in a House amendment to
a Senate bill or resolution, the following motions shall be in order and shall be privileged in the order named: First, That the
House recede; Second, That the House insist and ask for a committee
of conference; Third, That the House adhere.
