Section 9.28. Printing and printer’s numbers

(a) Printing.—Every bill is printed after introduction and referred to a committee.

(b) Original printer’s number.—Bills, including conference reports, in addition to the original bill number, carry, in the upper right hand corner, an additional number, known as the printer’s number. The printer’s numbers run consecutively in each house separately starting with number 1 in the order that the bills are presented to the legislative printing clerk for printing. The numbering bears no relation to the bill number. Quite frequently Senate Bill No. 1 may be Printer’s No. 200 while Senate Bill No. 99 may be Printer’s No. 196.

(c) Subsequent printer’s number.—Each time a bill is reprinted after being amended it is assigned a new printer’s number bearing no relationship to its previous printer’s numbers. A single bill may have several different printer’s numbers. All previous numbers are shown in the upper left hand corner of each printed bill, including conference reports.
