amendment correctly marked thereon and six copies of the detailed

description of such amendment to the Clerk of the Assembly.

the desk of each member of the House. When there is more than one

amendment to a bill and one of such amendments is adopted, any of the

other amendments so offered shall, if so requested by the member

amendment to the appropriate Assembly offices for purposes of

renumbering and printing the bill as amended.
