6 | | Appointment Message appointing the same person to the same |
7 | | office and for a term ending on the same date as that of an |
8 | | Appointment Message that was previously filed and later |
9 | | withdrawn shall not have the effect of restarting the 60 |
10 | | session day period within which the Senate must confirm or |
11 | | reject the appointee under Article V, Section 9, subsection (a) |
12 | | of the Illinois Constitution, Senate Rule 10-1, or any |
