# Making Changes to Legislation

Depending on the type of change required, legislation data may be changeable by state coordinators/administrators with or without requiring an entirely new submission. Use the information below to learn more.

## What is legislation data?

Legislation data is all information (text, files, etcetera) that are related to a bill submitted to the RIML. This includes its title, number, assigned author, and committee assignment. 

## When can data be changed?

See the Data Change Policy for more information.

## What data can be changed?

The only data that can be manually edited is the following (subject to the [Data Change Policy](https://docs.rimodellegislature.com/legislation/data-change-policy-and-procedure)):

* Title
* Author
* Archived Status

## What happens if data cannot be changed?

You must submit a new bill and request the old one be archived. First, create a support ticket requesting archival of the old bill. Then, submit a new one with the corrected data.
