Section 15.23 - Importance of arrangement of material

The arrangement of a bill is particularly important. The longer the bill the more important this becomes. An analytical arrangement is necessary to make the bill readily understandable and facilitates finding provisions without each time going over the whole bill. The arrangement should always be orderly and logical. Provisions are written down as they come to one's mind. This is usually neither logical nor orderly. They must invariably be rearranged so as to bring related provisions together and to follow an orderly plan based on sequence of events and having dependent provisions follow those on which they depend.
