§706 Bills and Resolutions: Number and Distribution

Summary

Print and send set numbers of copies for different kinds of bills and resolutions. For every Senate or House public bill and every joint resolution, print 625 copies and send 225 to the Senate document room, 15 to the Secretary of the Senate, and 385 to the House document room. For each Senate private bill, print 300 copies at introduction, reporting, and passage, and send 170 to the Senate document room, 15 to the Secretary, 100 to the House document room, and 10 to the Superintendent of Documents. For each House private bill, print 260 copies at those same stages, sending 135/15/100/10 to those same offices. All bills and resolutions must be printed in bill form. Unless either chamber orders otherwise, print them only when sent to a committee, when a committee approves and returns them, and after passage. Concurrent and simple resolutions get 260 copies when reported or after passage, sent 135 to the Senate document room, 15 to the Secretary, 100 to the House document room, and 10 to the Superintendent of Documents, unless a special order changes that.
