Terms used definitions:

Reference Title: A short title of each bill, resolution

and memorial that is placed in the upper

right-hand corner of the first page. It gives a

brief idea of the nature of the measure and

aids in indexing, but it is not a part of the

substantive law of the measure. See

“Now” Title: A revised reference title of a measure

after a strike everything amendment has been

adopted to reflect the new provisions of the

measure and distinguish the current version

of the measure from its original version.

Strike Everything Amendment: An amendment to a

bill that begins “Strike everything after the

enacting clause and insert:”. A strike

everything amendment proposes a new

version of the bill, sometimes changing the

nature of the bill completely, by replacing

the provisions previously introduced or

adopted
