Limit the number of pages and riders in any given legislative bill!

Created by V.K. on December 10, 2014

According to The Daily Signal: "As opposed to bills that are bite-size chunks, such as the 12 appropriation bills that cover individual agencies or small groupings of agencies, we get a single 1,000-plus-page bill, covering every nook and cranny of government, that somehow our elected officials are supposed to be able to review in a matter of 24 to 48 hours. This also leaves precious little time for anyone to make objections to this or that provision even if they have time to find them." I propose we limit the # of pages and riders that can make up any given bill, as well as ensure a minimum of 5 business days for review, so that we create a fair and effective system to read, absorb and reflect upon what is proposed within. This is what is best for the people, not rushing a bill through.
