# Submitting Legislation

Submitting legislation is an annual process in which students register themselves along with their intended titles for their legislation, have extended time to write their legislation, and then submit their final copies of their legislation. 

An outline of this process is below.

1. Student selects an area of interest that they want to cover.
2. Student derives a thesis of what they want to change with their legislation.
3. Student creates a title for their legislation.
4. Student submits their title to their delegation advisor.
5. Student's delegation advisor submits their bill title to the state coordinators.
6. State coordinators assign a bill number to the bill title.
7. Student writes their bill and adds the assigned bill title.
8. Student submits their bill to their advisor.
9. Student's advisor submits their bill to the state coordinators.
10. State coordinators make the collective bills available to all students.

This process has been digitized into two main areas that require participation from students, advisors, **and** state coordinators. 

The first process that must be completed to submit a bill is Bill Title Registration.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.rimodellegislature.com/legislation/submitting-legislation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
