LegHub is not showing amendments on my published list
LegHub relies on the stage information when searching Lawmaker data for any amendments to publish on the website.
Lawmaker currently relies more on the bill version that the amendments are linked to. This means that if a user has accidentally created a List of Draft Amendments (LoDA) using the wrong Stage, then these amendments, whilst associated to the wrong stage, will continue to appear on Lawmaker amendments lists as expected and the issue only becomes apparent downstream when LegHub can’t find these amendments to publish on the website as they are associated to an incorrect stage.
In future, Lawmaker will be updated so that the Amendment tabs will be filtered by stage rather than bill version. This will avoid the need to republish bill versions after stages where no amendments were agreed. But it also means this mistake will become obvious as you will notice amendments aren’t appearing because they have accidentally been created against the wrong stage.
To check before updating the stage
Open the amendment in a temporary list
Select Document > Edit as XML (to view the XML in the Editor)
Search (Ctrl+F) for the stage you think it was accidentally assigned to e.g. “Committee”, “Report”, “Third”
You can manually change the value in the <docStage> element by typing e.g.
<docStage>Report stage</docStage>
<docStage>Committee stage</docStage>
<docStage>Third Reading</docStage>
<docStage>Ping Pong</docStage>
How to change the stage of amendments without playing with the XML:
See “Moving all amendments or motions on a LoDA” in Moving or copying amendments to a different stage (including ping pong motions)
