Today’s translation is amendment. An amendment is a change made to a bill or clause in the bill that adds, deletes, omits, or substitutes language. An amendment made on the house or senate floor is a floor amendment, while an amendment made in committee is a committee amendment.

Today we are translating “sunset clause” as it applies in the legislature. Just as a sunset means the end of a day, a sunset clause signals the end of a piece, or part of legislation. #tuesdaytranslation #students #conservationleaders #nature #environment

Today’s Tuesday translation is sponsor! You can find out what legislation your elected officials are sponsoring by looking them up at https://t.co/4tFXN6hj6k and https://t.co/6s1DY2lOYl; then navigating to co-sponsored bills and sponsored bills on their pages. #engaged #students

Throughout general session we will be “translating” legislative terms every Tuesday. Today we are looking at what constituents are, and what it means to be one.
