Overview: Over the nine months of CEP, you learn about the process it takes to get a bill from an idea to law. In this second half of CEP, it’s time to put some of the skills you’ve learned into practice. You and your pod will have the opportunity to follow a real bill and apply the skills you’ve learned in CEP as you track the bill during the 2024 Legislative Session. You all will decide if you would like to track a bill that your pod host is working on or if you want to track another bill that is more meaningful to you and your pod.
