101 Pa. Code § 17.24 - Inserting language

(a) General. If words or figures are to be inserted, the language will be "by inserting after" (writing the word or figure after which the insert is made within quotation marks), followed by the language to be inserted not quoted but set out in the next line and written in single space and indented. The purpose of this is so that the language to be inserted may be cut out of the typewritten amendments and pasted on the printed bill for insertion after adoption of the amendment. Indentation of language to be inserted should not be exaggerated. If it consists of more than a line or two, the indentation will be ten spaces only on each side.

(b) Adding new units. If an entirely new section is to be inserted in a bill, it is done in the following form: "Amend bill, page 4, by inserting between lines 6 and 7," (setting forth the language of the section to be inserted). If a new subsection or other minor subdivision is to be inserted in a section, the language will be "Amend Sec. 2, page 3, by inserting between lines 8 and 9," (setting forth the subsection or minor subdivision to be inserted).

(c) Simultaneous strike-out and insert. If some language is to be omitted and other language substituted at the same place, the general rules apply, except that the language will be "by striking out (quoting the language to be stricken out), and inserting."
