[Adopted 3-14-2016 by Res. No. 83-2016]
A.
All resolutions and local laws amended by adding or deleting existing
language during the legislative process and prior to a full vote of
the Albany County Legislature shall be marked by the sponsor as follows:
(1)
All new language added or inserted in a proposed resolution or local
law shall be underscored.
(2)
All language to be deleted from a proposed resolution or local law
shall remain printed in its proper place and shall be enclosed in
brackets.
(3)
Whenever it is proposed to amend only part of a word and/or sentence,
the whole of such word and/or sentence shall be printed in its proper
place enclosed in black-faced brackets to indicate it shall be deleted
and the new whole word and/or sentence as proposed shall be inserted
and underscored.
B.
The above-described underline and bracket editing shall not be used
to describe all of the changes made to the document from its inception
but, instead, shall describe only those amendments proposed to be
made to the most recent version of the resolution or local law. For
example, changes underlined or bracketed in version "C" of a document,
will describe only the changes being made to the previous version
("B"), if any. Any changes made from version "A" to "B" will not be
included. This is to avoid possible misunderstandings which could
occur if changes were underlined and bracketed and then carried through
multiple versions.
C.
After a new resolution or local law is voted out of committee, a
"clean" version of same shall be provided by the sponsor to Majority
Counsel and Minority Counsel and to the Clerk of the Legislature for
consideration by the Legislature.
D.
If a preexisting resolution or local law is being modified, then,
after it is voted out of committee, a "marked up" version of same
showing the amendments to the existing resolution or local law shall
be provided by the sponsor to Majority Counsel and Minority Counsel
and to the Clerk of the Legislature for consideration by the Legislature.
