Revision history for Numbers
Additions:
- For amounts of one million or more, the number should be listed as the initial numeral followed by the word "million" or "billion." The number should also be rounded off to the nearest hundredth, if necessary. For example, if a bill includes an amount of money that reads "$352,778,000," the number in the highlight should read "$352.78 million." If the number listed in the bill were "$4,644,000,000," the number in the highlight should read "$4.64 billion." Here is an example: HR 2346 from the U.S. Congress in 2009. This is one of the highlights (bolded for emphasis):
- For amounts less than $1 million, the number should be listed in full. For example, if an amount of "375,500" is listed in a bill, the number in the highlight should also read "375,500." Here is an example: SB 855 from Texas during the 2009 Session. This is one of the highlights (bold added for emphasis):
When dealing with fractions of a dollar, it should be expressed in dollars rather than cents. For example, if a bill imposes a tax on something equal to five cents per purchase, it should be expressed as "$0.05" and not "5 cents." Here is an example: HB 6802 from Connecticut during the 2009 Session. This is one highlight from the summary (bolded for emphasis):
When dealing with percentages, the rules are generally the same. However, if you encounter a rare case where legislation specifies a percentage containing more than two decimal places, do not round off the second decimal place. For example, if there is a tax on something equal to 4.446 percent, it should be expressed as "4.446 percent" in the highlight, and not "4.45 percent." The primary rule to remember with percentages is to never use the symbol (%), but instead use the word "percent." Here is an example: S 1148 from Idaho during the 2009 session. This is one highlight from the summary (bolded for emphasis):
When dealing with fractions, write "three-fifths" instead of "3/5".

When writing numbers in your highlights, always write the numeral (e.g., 1, 2, 3) as opposed to spelling out the number (e.g., one, two, three). Here is an example: HB 531 from New Hampshire during the 2009 session. This is a group of highlights from the summary (bolded for emphasis):

When you're dealing with fractions, write "three-fifths" instead of "3/5".
Oftentimes, it is necessary to express the ranges of certain numbers. When this is the case, use the phrases "at least" and "up to". For example, "at least 15 years..." to express the bottom limit and "up to 30 years..." to express the top limit.

When writing numbers in your highlights, always write the numeral (1, 2, 3, etc.) as oppose to spelling out the number (one, two, three). Here is an example: HB 531 from New Hampshire during the 2009 session. This is a group of highlights from the summary (bold added for emphasis):
- For amounts of one million or more, the number should be listed as a single digit followed by the word "million" or "billion."
