A quick definition of add:
ADD: When people want to change something that has been written, they can make an "addition" which means they add new words to the end of what was already written. This can happen in a few different ways, like taking out some words and putting in new ones, or just adding new words in a specific spot. Sometimes, people might call their change a "friendly addition" if they think everyone will like it.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: ADD is a type of amendment that adds new wording to the end of a motion or paragraph within a motion. It can also refer to the process of making a formal revision or addition to a statute, constitution, pleading, order, or other instrument.
Examples:
- An amendment to a bill that adds a new provision at the end of the bill.
- A change made to a contract by adding a new clause at the end of the contract.
These examples illustrate how ADD works by placing new wording at the end of a motion or document.
