SGA meeting features bill writing workshop
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers an SGA meeting workshop on writing bills.
- The News-Letter reported that the meeting included a workshop on how to write bills properly.
- The paper reported that Executive President Jason Plush said bill-writing and proposal methods had been handled incorrectly for about a decade.
- The article adds that Plush said resolutions are more formal than bills, which use clear sections, Roman numerals and section sub-headers.
- The reporter writes that senators were assigned to committees created by the CLEAR Act, which the article says passed at the previous meeting; the committees covered academic affairs, finance, health and safety, student organisations, student services, sustainability and development, constitutional matters and the judiciary.
