Every bill that comes up for a vote in any legislature, be it state or federal, should be read aloud on the floor

Agreed. Especially in this age of video WE THE PEOPLE can listen to the readings, too, and judge for ourselves what to say to our representatives BEFORE they vote.

My procedure

1. the legislator must write the entire bill by himself with no outside input from attorneys, union reps, or coroprate CEOs.

2. The bill will be posted online in its entirety a full two weeks before the bill is due to be voted on.

3. The FINAL bill will be read aloud on the house or senate floor with no chance of procedural add ons or riders.

4. There will be no less than 1 hour of debate on any bill reguardless of who introduces it or who holds the majority.
