26. Full Committee Markup of (Continued): H.R. 3261, the “Stop Online Piracy Act,” House Committee on
the Judiciary (Dec. 16, 2011) (available at http://judiciary.house.gov/index.cfm/hearings?ID=8333081B-F95A-
639C-8CBD-B62E28C34382). At the beginning of the House Judiciary Committee markup on December 15,
Chairman Smith offered his Manager’s Amendment as a complete substitute to SOPA as introduced. That
amendment was not voted on before the congressional session ended. On December 15, the Judiciary Committee
began a process of debating and voting on amendments to the Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute. A vote
on the Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute would not occur until the Committee had considered and voted
on all of the “perfecting” amendments to the Substitute. All the amendments that have been considered and that
would be considered when the markup resumed were to this text, and not to the bill as originally introduced. The
Manager’s Amendment therefore has effectively replaced the bill as introduced.
