Establish a genuine reason for an ordinance proposal, and meet with an official of the local council to discuss the contents of a proposal letter. Obtain the appropriate address, name and title of the person to whom you are writing by calling the number 1-800-FED-INFO or 1-800-333-4636 and ask for an appropriate government office, department and address.
Ask the government official from the appropriate office what the best method is for getting a law enacted. For example, getting a certain number of signatures can help. Contact importance people in the society, such as politicians and business people, and ask for more advice and support from both the supporters and critics of the draft.
Consult with an attorney who is knowledgeable in government and local council acts to help you understand the points to consider for or against the local laws. Ensure the letter addresses a particular issue pertaining to the society and conforms to the standard of the law.
Draft your proposal in polite official language, stating who you are and your professional credentials, date, full address and the purpose of the letter. Provide detailed facts, examples and evidence. Avoid general information, blasphemy or threats.
Arrange and number your facts and points in each section. Quote the number and section of the bill if necessary when making references to the acts or laws, and provide a well researched solution to the problem in brief statements.
Acknowledge past support and avoid unnecessary words. Conclude the letter by thanking the government office concerned. Have every participant in the drafting sign and date the letter.
Submit the letter to the authorities concerned, and wait for a reply. Follow up by visiting the local government offices if there is an extended delay, and request an audience with the concerned official to confirm the receipt of the letter.
