The House of Representatives has launched its bill drafting competition where college students are invited to compete against each other in the drafting of a national legislation. Students from different colleges and universities attended a seminar at the lower House last week to learn the steps in the drafting of a House Bill that would soon get enacted in a law, according to a statement sent to media Tuesday. Renato Camelon III of the House Reference and Research Bureau headed the seminar and explained the mechanics, form and style of bill drafting. The Bill Drafting Contest aims to involve the youth in the legislative process by letting them write their own legislative measures that are well-written, well-researched and responsive to the people’s needs. Interested participants of the contest may join the competition by forming a team of three students from the same college or university.
