a. The Office of Assembly Revision shall examine and correct all

bills, for the purpose of avoiding repetitions, insuring accuracy in the

text and references, and consistency with the language of the existing

statutes. Any recommendation of the Office of Assembly Revision which

requires further amendment of the bill shall be handled by the member

introducing it or by the Majority or Minority Leader as a regular

amendment to the bill.

b. All bills when ordered to a third reading except Senate bills which

have not been amended in the House, or bills, which have been made a

special order on second and third reading, shall be sent to the Index

Clerk to be jacketed with the proper jurat for certification of final

passage. Each such bill shall, after passage by both Houses, be

engrossed, if so ordered by the Speaker, or stamped "Official Copy" in

which case it shall be deemed to have been engrossed.
