A quick definition of secondary amendment:

A secondary amendment is a change made to a law or document that has already been amended once before. It is like making a change to a change. There are different types of secondary amendments, like adding new words, taking out words, or replacing words with different ones. Sometimes, a friendly amendment is proposed, which means the person who made the original change agrees with the new change. Secondary amendments can be made by individuals or committees, and they must be debated and voted on before they become official.

A more thorough explanation:

A secondary amendment is a type of amendment 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.

  • Amendment by adding: An amendment that places new wording at the end of a motion or of a paragraph or other readily divisible part within a motion.
  • Amendment by inserting: An amendment that places new wording within or around a motion's current wording.
  • Amendment by striking out: An amendment that removes wording from a motion's current wording.
  • Amendment by striking out and inserting: An amendment that removes wording and replaces it with alternative wording.
  • Amendment by substituting: A special type of amendment by striking out and inserting that replaces an entire main motion or a paragraph or other readily divisible part within a main motion.

For example, an amendment by adding could be adding a sentence to a proposed law. An amendment by inserting could be adding a word or phrase to a sentence in a proposed law. An amendment by striking out could be removing a sentence from a proposed law. An amendment by striking out and inserting could be replacing a sentence in a proposed law with a new sentence. An amendment by substituting could be replacing an entire section of a proposed law with a new section.

These examples illustrate how a secondary amendment can change the wording of a proposed law or motion, either by adding, inserting, striking out, or substituting text.
