TITLE
Section 15.36 - Time of preparation

Although titles appear first on the bill they should always be written last. The reason for this is that the subject of the bill must be clearly expressed in its title and the title must give notice to all persons affected by the proposed statute. It is therefore necessary that the bill be completed in order to insure that these requirements are observed. When a title has been drawn, each section of the bill should be reread to ascertain whether it comes within the title.
