    Bill Analysis, Bill Amendment or Legislative Proposal and Advocacy Plan: Arizona Legislature
    Directions for Bill Analysis: Adopt an education related bill from the current or past legislative session of the Arizona legislature or Federal Legislature (United States). Provide a written document that analyses the bill you select.
    Bill analysis must include:
    *A concise recap of the key elements of the bill’s contents, any amendments or changes made to the bill during its progress through the system,
    *Vote totals of each committee, including assigned committees, Committee of the Whole (COW) and final vote,
    *Supporters or detractors of the bill, including written and oral testimony in the committee hearings,
    *The final bill’s impact on education, including fiscal impact, curriculum impact and negative or positive effects.
    Bill Amendment: Develop a proposed bill amendment of the bill studied that would address the negative impact of the bill on education. The proposal should be a proposed amendment to the current bill. The proposed amendment or bill must include proposed language for a bill included in current statutes with new language in capital letters and existing language in regular type. The proposed amendment or bill must also include an analysis of the fiscal impact of bill and educational impact of the bill.
    Advocacy Plan: Develop an advocacy plan for the proposed bill amendment. An advocacy plan must include engaging the entire school and community, as well as involving special interest groups that might be interested.
