AI Summary

This resolution establishes a procedural rule for the Oregon Legislative Assembly that requires a committee to obtain approval from the chief sponsor before adopting any amendment to a legislative measure. Specifically, the resolution mandates that for both Senate and House committees, as well as joint committees, an amendment can only be considered and adopted if the primary sponsor of the original legislative measure has pre-approved the proposed change. This rule is designed to give the chief sponsor more control over modifications to their proposed legislation, ensuring that any amendments align with the original intent of the bill. The resolution applies to the 83rd Legislative Assembly and serves as an internal procedural guideline to govern how legislative measures can be altered during the committee review process.
