Rule 8.18.  Legislative instruments which have been recommitted

Any legislative instrument which is recommitted and then is reported to the House shall take the course of an instrument at its second reading, unless it is reported by the Committee of the Whole, in which case the House shall immediately proceed to act on it.  An instrument which has been ordered recommitted once upon the motion of a member shall not be so recommitted again, except for a special amendment proposed and agreed to by the House, and then only by the consent of two-thirds of the members present.
