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. 

  1. Determine the issue you want to address.
    1. Note that "issue" is singular; you never want to bite off more than you can chew.
    2. The larger a piece of legislation, the larger the target, the easier it is to shoot down.
  2. Determine the administrators that directly or indirectly impact this issue.


Is legislation needed?

Before you get too far into the legislative process, you need to ask yourself the question "Is legislation needed here?" You can resolve a lot of issues by meeting with administrators; so you need to make sure that writing legislation is worth your time and effort.
