When you want to write legislation, there's a specific process that you should follow. A good resolution takes about eight hours to write; a good bill takes about 12 hours to write. There is no way to get around this time investment. Writing sloppy legislation will produce sloppy results and will result in a sloppy, unproductive process.
Step-by-step guide
Here are the steps involved in formulating, drafting, introducing, and (hopefully) passing legislation.
- Determine the issue you want to address.
- Note that "issue" is singular; you never want to
- bite off more than you can chew.
- The larger a piece of legislation, the larger the target, the easier it is to shoot down.
- Determine the administrators that directly or indirectly impact this issue.
