§ 9723 Legislative Journal Authentication

• •Every day, each house of the legislature makes a record called a 'Journal'.
• •Once the house approves this Journal, the chief clerk or secretary has to confirm it's the real, approved version.
• •This is just to make sure everyone knows which version of the Journal is the official one.

Imagine your teacher writes down what happened in class each day in a notebook.

Once your teacher checks the notebook and says it's correct, she signs it so everyone knows it's the official record of the day.
