The Student Government Association (SGA) held a workshop during their meeting to discuss how to properly write bills.
“One of the big things we talked about after our meeting last Tuesday and our executive board meeting on Friday with [Associate Dean of Student Engagement and SGA Advisor Tiffany Sanchez] is that we have actually been doing the structure of writing and proposing bills entirely wrong for about a decade,” SGA Executive President Jason Plush said.
Plush explained that writing resolutions is actually more complicated than writing a bill.
“Writing a resolution is a lot more formalized, whereas writing a bill is clear sections. It’s mainly using Roman numerals and section sub-headers,” he said.
During the meeting, senators were assigned to committees created by the CLEAR Act, a bill passed in last week’s meeting. The committees include Academic Affairs, Finance, Health and Safety, Student Organizations, Student Services, Sustainability and Development, Constitution and Bylaws and the Judiciary committee.
