            Delegate Flieschauer moves to amend the resolution on page seven, line seventeen, following the period, by inserting the following new section, to read as follows:

“Children and Families Impact Statement

            95d. Upon the introduction of any legislation which has a potential impact on children and families of this state, the Speaker may request from any institution under the authority of the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission, including, but not limited to, any state college or university, West Virginia University, or Marshall University, a review of the proposed legislation for the purpose of preparing a Senior Citizens Impact Statement. It shall be the responsibility of the Speaker to obtain any requested Senior Citizens Impact Statement, which shall be based on generally accepted methodology. The Rules Committee may, but is not required to, make by resolution, recommendations as to the form and contents of the Senior Citizens Impact Statement.

            The phrase “Senior Citizens Impact Statement, or “SCIP” must be clearly stamped or endorsed on the jackets on all bills that have statements attached to them. No act is void or voidable if a Senior Citizens Impact Statement is not attached at the time of passage.”
