Legislative Writing Day 2

11/3/2016

 
Period 5: Senator Ellen Roberts, Republican is here!

Period 6
Objectives:  By the end of class today, you should…
  1. Review the deadlines for your role as outlined either on page 5 or 6 of the mack daddy packet
  2. Review the bill writing rubric  in your mack daddy packets. Make sure you clearly understand!  Remember, the more specific and researched your bill is, the better it will be.  
  3. Review page 11- "Writing a Bill, Part 2". SEE BELOW on this blog post  for what to pay attention to. 
  4. Have a clear topic chosen for your legislation (write it on the board!).
  5. Have a list of questions written for the experts from each perspective.  These could be general questions about the topic, questions about what their party/industry would support, or questions about your specific legislation you’d like them to address. Please write those on the board too. 
  6. Have the preamble outlined.
  7. Have a bill sections divided between partners.  Who is writing what?

Specialized Roles??  RESEARCH!  RESEARCH!  RESEARCH!

Writing a Bill, Part 2
Review the different sections of the bill.  Look at example bills.  Notice…
  1. Preamble is one LONG sentence!
  2. HOW will you pay for the stuff in your bill?  So if you are cutting revenue, where will you cut spending?  If you are increasing spending on anything, what will pay for that?  If you are in climate change, where will any increased revenue go?  If you want increased research, monitoring, or regulation, where will you get money to pay for it?  If you are in immigration, how do you pay for increased enforcement on the border?  If you are in college debt, and want to expand government assistance for students, where does that money come from?
 
HOMEWORK:
Have all of the above things accomplished when you walk into class tomorrow (expert questions, preamble outlined, sections divided.  In addition, you should have the stuff done from yesterday).  If you don’t have this done, you are behind!
