Guidelines For Bill Drafting

The staff of House Bill Drafting is divided among three groups: the drafting staff, the editorial staff, and the administrative staff. The drafters prepare the text of drafts in response to requests by the members, councils, and committees of the House. The editors review, correct, and confirm the completeness of the text prepared by the drafters. The administrative staff respond to questions regarding the office and the submission and status of requests; verify the text of all requests prior to final review; and file all bills and floor amendments.
