Bills

As part of your attendance at Boys' State, you are required to write a legislative bill. Your bill will be presented to the Boys' State legislature and may become "law" if it is passed. The template for the bill can be found here.

Submit all bills via email to bills@wyoboysstate.org

Keep in mind there are 5 major components to a legislative bill:

1.Title - The main sentence to help the reader understand your intent

2. Definitions to help ensure subjective terms are understood

3. Action - the actual addition/deletion/change to current law affecting a program, policy, criminal act, etc.

4. Funding needed, if any, to uphold or enforce your bill

5. Effective Date - at what point the law will change to affect everyone equally
