How to submit using the Amendment Manager

IMPORTANT: Amendments must first be lodged via an email to the Parliamentary clerks. Once the amendments are lodged via email, it is best practice to submit in Lawmaker soon after.

One way to submit amendments in Lawmaker is by using the Amendment Manager (another way is to submit the list from the editor).

Before you select the amendments to submit, filter your amendments to minimise any errors when selecting.

See Suggestions for filtering amendment manager

Once filtered, if you cannot find the amendments you are looking for, it may be that their status is “On hold”. You will need to change the status back to “draft” before Lawmaker will allow you to submit it.

Note, amendments that are flagged or where the status is set to “on hold” cannot be submitted. They will need to be unflagged or the status set back to “draft” before they can be submitted.

To submit:

Select the amendments by ticking on the check box to the left.
