first-degree amendment

Read a random definition: DLSA

A quick definition of first-degree amendment:

A first-degree amendment is a change proposed or made to a law, document, or motion. It can be a revision, addition, deletion, or correction to the wording. It can be made by a party without the court's permission or by the judge on their own. In parliamentary law, it refers to a motion that changes another motion's wording by striking out, inserting, or substituting text. A floor amendment is offered by an individual member, while a committee amendment is proposed by a committee. A friendly amendment is one that the mover of the motion being amended supports, and to which no other member objects.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A first-degree amendment is a formal revision or addition proposed or made to a statute, constitution, pleading, order, or other instrument. It is a change made by addition, deletion, or correction, especially an alteration in wording.

Examples:

  • Amendment as of course: An amendment that a party has a statutory right to apply for without the court's permission.
  • Amendment on court's own motion: A change to a pleading or other document by the judge without a motion from a party.
  • Nunc pro tunc amendment: An amendment that is given retroactive effect, usually by court order.
  • Floor amendment: An amendment offered from the floor by an individual member, as distinguished from a committee amendment.

The examples illustrate how a first-degree amendment can be applied in different contexts, such as in court proceedings or parliamentary procedures. They show how an amendment can be made by a party or a judge, and how it can be proposed by an individual member or a committee. The purpose of a first-degree amendment is to make a formal revision or addition to an existing document or motion, and it can be made by adding, deleting, or correcting wording.

@Eminatorcookieeater: same and my sub status was blank yesterday - trying to research what it means
@shaquilleoatmeal: ooo I wonder what that means, hopefully it means we'll hear back soon

It looks like an update to the sub status (it saying complete instead of being blank) means some sort of review has happened - basically a UR2. Seems like those who got a substatus change got a decision a few days after...
