Section 77

On the third reading of a Bill amendments may be proposed to the question “That the Bill be now read a third time” similar to those which may be proposed on second reading; but the debate shall be confined to the contents of the Bill and any reasoned amendment which raises matters not included in the Bill shall be out of order.

Amendments for the correction of errors or oversights may, with the Speaker’s permission, be made before the question for the third reading of the Bill is put from the Chair, but no amendments of a material character shall be proposed.

Upon the motion for the third reading being agreed to, the Clerk shall read aloud the short title of the Bill.

62

When a Bill has been read the third time a printed copy, certified by the Speaker or in his absence the Deputy Speaker to be a true copy of a Bill passed by the

Assembly, shall be submitted by the Clerk to the Yang di-Pertua Negeri for his assent.
