======Summary Writing - Bill Summary Sheet Terms======----

====Bill Number====

Bill Number's must contain a prefix and the number assigned to the legislation.

There must be a space between the prefix and the number, regardless of whether the legislature has a space between the two. 

For Amendments, the prefix is always "Amdt" followed by the number assigned to the amendment (ex: Amdt 8).  If the state does not assign a number to amendments, use the sponsors name followed by the "Amdt" prefix (ex: "Smith Amdt").  

**The best way to ensure to enter the correct prefix is to use the prefix drop down menu in the Admin. Please attend to prefixes carefully.**
