Entering Votes - Amendment Votes
Bill Number
For amendments, the prefix is always "Amdt" followed by the number assigned to the amendment (ex: Amdt 8). If the state does not assign a number to amendments, use the sponsors name followed by the "Amdt" prefix (ex: "Smith Amdt").
For the sake of clarity you should include the bill number of the legislation being amended on the bill summary sheet, though not in Admin. If an amendment is being amended, include that number as well. Here are examples of amendment numbers listed in Admin and on a bill summary sheet.
