Form and Style Manual for Legislative Measures, Which Has Been Adopted by Reference in the Rules of Both Chambers BILLS ENACTING EASURES CITAT O R E G O N L E G I S L A T I V E A S S E M B L Y AMENDForm and ORDER Style Manual for Legislative REPEALMeasures EXPEN PROVISIONS RE 2019-2020 Edition REFERENDUM J MEMORIALS RE PREFACE The Oregon Legislative Assembly follows a uniform system of form and style for legislative measures. This system is not set forth in full in the rules of either chamber; rather, it is set forth in this Form and Style Manual for Legislative Measures, which has been adopted by reference in the rules of both chambers. Because this manual is incorporated into the chamber rules, it is sometimes subject to rule interpretation by the chamber parliamentarians.* The Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure, as promulgated by the Council on Court Procedures, and adopted by the Legislative Assembly in 1979 and 1981 and subsequently amended, do not conform to this uniform system of form and style. This Form and Style Manual for Legislative Measures obviously cannot cover every situation. For form and style questions not covered by this manual, contact the Office of the Legislative Counsel at (503) 986-1243. *SENATE RULE 13.01. (3) Immediately after presentation to the Secretary of the Senate, the measure shall be sent to Legislative Counsel for examination and compliance with the “Form and Style Manual for Legislative Measures” and preparation of a copy for the State Printer. No corrections that might affect the substance of the measure shall be made without the consent of the sponsor of the measure. SENATE RULE 8.50. (3) All committee reports shall be filed in a manner prescribed by the Secretary of the Senate. Reports which are not in the proper form and style may be returned to the committee or corrected by the Secretary of the Senate and the President or their designees. Any substantive changes must be approved by the committee. HOUSE RULE 12.20. (2) Immediately after presentation to the Desk, the measure shall be assigned a measure number and sent by the Chief Clerk to the Publication Services unit of the Legislative Counsel for examination and any corrections as to accuracy of form and style to conform substantially to the Form and Style Manual for Legislative Measures and preparation of a copy for the State Printer. No corrections that might affect the substance of the measure shall be made without the consent of the sponsor of the measure. HOUSE RULE 9.05. After it is submitted to the Desk, every committee report recommending amendments to a measure shall be sent by the Chief Clerk to the Publication Services unit of the Legislative Counsel for examination in the same manner as bills are examined by the unit. The shaded text in this 2019-2020 edition of the Form and Style Manual for Legislative Measures is explanatory material that is of particular interest to the staff of the Office of the Legislative Counsel. It is technical in nature and includes specific guidelines for legislative drafting and copyediting.
