Notice; Regarding Passed Legislation

Senators and Members of TIO,

I've recently come to a decision regarding the way I currently record legislation into 'Passed Legislation.' Currently the "Author" of the bill is recorded, along with any co-authors or significant contributors.

However, I think recording acts in this way downplays the often important contributions made by other members during the debate process. Therefore, I've decided to make the small change of "Author" to "Original Submitter".

This change will be implemented over the next few days.

Yours,
Speaker Elpidia.

Mister Speaker,

I am fully supportive of this measure. I too feel that the contributions which add to a bill through the course of debate shouldn't be downplayed, and recognizing an Author instead as the Original Submitter takes nothing away from their contributions in the process.
