Section 17.5 - Duty of typist prior to transcribing

Before starting to transcribe any amendments, the typist must consult the cardex file of bills to determine whether the print of the bill before her is the last print of the bill or, if the bill has been restored to a former print, that it is the active print. This, in the first instance, is the function of the draftsman. Occasionally, however, his information is not up to the minute. If it is found that a bill to which amendments are made has been previously amended, the matter is brought to the attention of the draftsman. In transcribing amendments, a check is made with the proofreaders' files for corrections that should be included in the amendments.
