Each bill amending any statute or special act shall set forth in full the section or subsection of the statute or the special act to be amended. Matter to be omitted or repealed shall be surrounded by brackets or overstricken so that the omitted or repealed matter remains readable, and new matter shall be indicated by capitalization or underscoring of all words in the original bill and by capitalization, underscoring or italics in its printed form.

The clerk shall make a notation on the certified duplicate copy of all action taken on the original.

Any member of the General Assembly may co-sponsor a bill or resolution by making a request in writing after it has been filed, to the clerk of the chamber in which the bill or resolution has been filed to add his or her name as a co-sponsor of the bill or resolution, but not later than the date of the signing of the bill, or the deadline for the signing of the bill, by the Governor, whichever is earlier, or the adoption of the resolution.
