Note

When your amendment list has been checked and is ready for printing/publishing, you need to publish the list in Lawmaker in order for automated processes in the amendment list generation logic to work.

From the Amendment Manager—

  1. Select Amendment Actions > Create Official List from the dropdown menu in the top right of the page

  2. Select ‘Marshalled List’

  3. Update the relevant information in the dialog box and click on Create

...

  1. The Marshalled List will appear in a new tab in the Editor, containing all relevant amendments sorted and automatically numbered.

  2. If it is Further Consideration Stage: delete the ‘Order of Consideration block’ from the title by selecting it in the breadcrumb and deleting the whole element.

  3. If it is Consideration Stage: update the Order of Consideration with “Clauses & Schedules” as required.

Info

Process and logic for auto-generating the Marshalled List

Filtering which amendments to include in the list

Amendments will appear in the Notice of Amendments if—

  • they were recorded as having been “tabled” up to the specified cut-off date (and time if supplied),

  • they do not have the status “notSelected” (amendments that were not selected will not appear in the Marshalled List), and

  • they do not have the status “withdrawn” or “withdrawnBeforeMoved” (withdrawn amendments will not appear in the Marshalled List)

Sorting the amendments

  • Amendments are sorted by the order they appear in the bill: Clauses 1-n, Schedules 1-n and Long Title amendments appearing last.

  • As automatic sorting in Lawmaker is limited to page and line information gleaned from the amendment, you might sometimes need to add sort codes when there are 2 or more amendments with the same location information.

Automatically assigned numbers

  • Amendments are automatically numbered on a Marshalled List, starting “Amendment 1” and so on.

  • Stand part clause/schedule motions at Consideration stage are not numbered.

  • Amendments to amendments are numbered.
