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.
The Broad Strokes
We can broadly divide the legislative process into five steps:
- Formulation and research;
- Drafting;
- Introduction;
- Negotiation; and
- Implementation.
