Section 15.244 - Grouping provisions previously amended(a)General. If a bill amends several sections, subsections or other minor subdivisions, some of which have been amended and others not, or some of which have been amended by different earlier statutes, the proper order of the parts amended is always maintained, but the sections of the amending bill will group them so as to include in each section all the consecutive provisions affected by the same amendment, or that have not been amended. This, of course, sometimes requires repetition of citations of amending statutes where sections otherwise affected intervene.(b)Example. An example would be a bill containing the following: (1) Section 1 of the bill amending sections 308 and 311 of the Public School Code of 1949 that have not been previously amended.(2) Section 2 of the bill amending sections 315 and 317, "amended July 27, 1953 (P. L. 616, No. 176)".(3) Section 3 of the bill amending section 672 and clause (c) of section 687, "amended January 21, 1952 (P. L. 2195, No. 627)".(4) Section 4 of the bill amending sections 701, 733 and 739, which again have not been previously amended.(5) Section 5 of the bill amending section 2511.1, again "amended January 21, 1952 (P. L. 2195, No. 627)."
