IMPORTANT - before you submit your amendments in Lawmaker, make sure you share your list of amendments with the Bill Office first via email in a PDF document….[add business process here]…
From the Amendment Manager tab—
Select the amendments you wish to submit using the check boxes in the left-hand column, and
Select Amendment Actions > Submit amendments
A 'Confirm amendment submission' dialog box appears summarising whether the amendments can be submitted.
Click on the Submit button and all amendments ready for submission will be shared with the Bill Office.
Amendments successfully submitted will be updated to status “Submitted” and ownership of the amendments will switch to the Bill Office resulting in read only access for OLC users and full edit rights for NIA users.
You will still be able to view your submitted amendments and any changes that the Bill Office make to them.
The ‘Confirm amendment submission’ dialog box will tell you which amendments are ready for submission. If any were not ready, you can separately update these accordingly and resubmit when they’re ready.
OLC users are unable to undo a submission. If you submit amendments in error—
Contact the Bill Office so they are made aware (they will need to reject the amendments submitted in error).
You still won’t have edit rights to amendments with a status of “Rejected”. If you wanted to continue editing the submitted amendments, you will need to copy them to a different stage selecting the current stage and bill version. This will create a duplicate of all the selected amendments, removing the ‘submitted’ status allowing you to edit and resubmit when ready.
