How do you write a bill?

First, you must have an idea of what you want the bill to establish. Then you need to do some research to see if the bill is legalized yet. Then you should draft your bill: it needs a title, (a bill to....) an enacting clause, and the body of the bill. You should define what the bill is about, and you need to tell where the money is coming from. Then you need to find a way so that everyone knows about the law if it is passed. If someone dies not follow your law, there must be a penalty. There should also be an effective date on when the bill should be passed.
