Proposal Preparation & Submission

Writing a successful legislative proposal requires brevity, passion, and focus. As briefly and as plainly as possible, your aim is to tell your legislator about the problem your proposal solves, how it solves it and the consequences of not acting on it. A legislative proposal from Sacramento Advisors may begin at the capitol, but more likely it begins with a you, a private citizen or an advocacy group seeing a need for legislation that improves a situation or solves a problem.

If you choose to have Sacramento Advisors prepare a proposal, this means your primary goal isn't drafting a perfect bill for presentation to your state legislature. Your goal, instead, is to have us write a proposal that may convince at least one legislator that your idea is a good one and should be drafted into law.

Writing a bill for your state legislature is one way for concerned citizens or groups to have a direct impact on government. While citizens or organizations cannot introduce a bill, writing a bill is a good way to begin the legislative process. What you write can affect the way state senators or representatives make decisions. The more preparation you put into a bill before presenting it to legislators that you want to sponsor it, the more likely they will be to help with your cause.
