If the bill being amended has been previously selected as a Key Vote, that bill needs to be selected in admin as the parent bill to the amendment. This allows user of our website to search for the amendment with the bill number. There is a drop-down menu in admin that contains a list of bills from that state, as follows:
However, only bills that have an admin entry are listed in the parent bill drop-down menu. It's not uncommon for us to select an amendment vote but not a vote on the parent bill. In such instances you not are required to create an admin entry for that bill.
