Recommittal of Bills reported from Committee of the Whole Assembly

“64. (1) If any member desired to delete or amend any provision contained in a bill as reported from a Committee of the Whole Assembly or to introduce any new provisions therein, he may, at any time before a member rises to move the third reading of the Bill, move that the Bill be recommitted either wholly or in respect only of some particular part or parts of the Bill or some proposed new clause or new Schedule. No notice of such motion shall be required, the question shall be put without amendment or debate and, if the motion is agreed to, the Bill shall stand so recommitted. The Assembly may then, upon motion made, resolve itself into Committee to consider the business so recommitted either forthwith or upon a later day.

(2) When the Whole Bill has been recommitted, the Committee shall go through the Bill as provided in Standing Order No. 57 (Procedure in Committee of the Whole Assembly on Bills).

(3) When the Bill has been recommitted in respect only of some particular part or parts of some proposed new clause or new Schedule, the Committee shall consider only the matter so recommitted and any amendment which may be moved thereto.

(4) At the conclusion of the proceedings in Committee on a Bill recommitted under the provisions of this Standing Order, the Chairman shall put the question “That the Bill (or the Bill as amended or recommitted) be reported to the Assembly” which question shall be decided without amendment or debate. As soon as the Bill has been Reported, the Member in charge of the Bill may either name a future day for the third reading of the Bill or move that it be a read a third time forthwith.”
