Section 15.6 - Supplements to existing law

(a) Use. At one time supplements to statutes were very extensively used. In modern practice, however, supplements have fallen into disuse. The present practice is to add a section or sections by way of amendment to existing law. In this way they find their place in the logical sequence of existing law.

(b) Form. Supplements are, generally speaking, in the form of a simple new enactment, except that the title of the supplement cites the statute to which it is supplementary. In this respect, the same rules apply as in the case of titles to amendatory bills.
