Republishing updated amendments

Introduction

If you have made changes to an amendment in a bill e.g. changed the supporters, adding explanatory statements, withdrawn or recorded an outcome, then you will need to republish the amendments so that the website is updated with the recent changes.

This is a 2 stage process. The first stage is making the change in Lawmaker and republishing the updated amendments. The second stage, which can happen at any time in the day, is to schedule an update which will run later in the evening to pick up any changes made that day in Lawmaker.

How to republish updated amendments

1. Find the amendment(s) on the ‘Amendment Manager’ dashboard view  (Tip: )

2. Select the amendment(s) using the check box on the left-hand side

3. Click on the ‘Amendment Actions’ drop-down menu in the top-right of the ‘Amendment Manager’ tab and select “Publish selected amendments”

4. Click “Publish” on the warning message
