Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024
Section 17.84 - Preparation of report(a)General. The report of the conference committee consists of a completed printed form of a report which is folded around the prepared print of the bill. A blue form is used for House bills and a yellow or white form is used for Senate bills. The printed form contains lines for signatures of the members of the conference committee which are left blank.(b)Printer's and bill numbers. In the upper left hand corner of the form appear the words "Previous Printer's Nos." After this is typed all of the printer's numbers, including the latest print, that have been assigned to the bill each time it has been printed. On the same line and to the right is typed "Printer's No." but with no number inserted. This is left blank. It is for the new printer's number that will be assigned it for the new print. Just below in spaces left for the purpose is typed "Senate" or "House" and the bill number.(c)Title of bill. In the space following "entitled," is copied in quotation marks the title of the bill as it appears on the last (or active) print, or as much of the title as the space provided will permit. Even when the conference report changes the title of the bill, the title as it appears on the last printed (or active) copy of the bill is used. The bill was referred to the committee by this title, and its report must conform to the commitment. The changed title appears only on the bill recommended by the committee.
