Sec. 420. Recommittal of a bill to a committee. |
After a bill
has been committed and reported, it ought not, in any ordinary course,
to be recommitted; but in cases of importance, and for special reasons,
it is sometimes recommitted, and usually to the same committee. Hakew,
151. If a report be recommitted before agreed to in the House, what has
passed in committee is of no validity; the whole question is again
before the committee, and a new resolution must be again moved, as if
nothing had passed. 3 Hats., 131--note.
