A. No retirement bill may be introduced by any member of the Legislature unless, at the time of its introduction, the bill has printed thereon in the upper right portion of each page of the bill an RB number. Once a retirement bill is presented to the Legislative Actuary, unless as otherwise provided by this subsection, neither the applicable staff nor any person shall make any change in the retirement bill prior to its introduction into the Legislature unless the bill is returned to the applicable staff office and that office assigns a new RB number to the bill. A change in a retirement bill by the applicable legislative staff to correct nonsubstantive errors shall not require the assignment of a new RB number.

B. A measure that is not a retirement bill when introduced, but becomes amended to become a retirement bill shall have printed thereon in the upper right corner of each page of the bill an RB number at the time the measure is deemed to be a retirement bill as provided in Section 7 of this act.¹
