    If your students have proposed an amendment to a bill from another class, be sure that you have submitted it back to the author.  If a bill is assigned to you that has the status of Tabled in Committee, it means that your class has sent the bill back to the author(s) for an amendment and it has come back for a vote. It could also mean that you somehow missed it, and the bill has never received an initial vote.  Either way, please be sure to respond to this bill. Also be sure to include comments as to why your class voted the way it did whether the bill was passed or rejected.
