Bill: Rejected Anti Competitive Legislation Act

[End]

A
BILL
To

Prevent Competitive Legislation.

The people of Democracy Craft, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:

1 - Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the “Anti-Competitive Legislation Act or ACL Act”.
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.

2 - Reasons
In the past, Representatives have posed differing bills on the same topic at the same time. Representatives should be working together to discuss and refine bills rather than posing many different versions of the same topic. It shouldn't be that the President has to choose between two different bills changing the same law.

3 - Terms
(1) Representatives will be barred from introducing bills that are in conflict with the terms of another bill already present in the chamber.

Nay - two bills may be in conflict with each other, but they are unlikely to both pass and end up on the President's desk. This also can lead to slowdowns in the House if a highly unpopular bill is proposed on a hot topic and the author is unwilling to amend it.
