Public Policy Part 4: April 30
Public Policy Part 4: Policy Implementation
In this section of the paper, we will examine how the bill you have chosen seeks to implement a policy. What actions are to be taken and who will carry it out? In other words, how does this bill seek to make the policy happen?
Research Note: You should go to a public library and check out some books related to your topic. You should also contact interest groups, agencies and congressional committees involved in your topic. They will normally be more than willing to send you information on your topic. You may even get the chance to conduct an interview. Additionally, once everyone has chosen a topic, I will request Congressional Research Service Packs from our congressman. You must have at least three sources beyond the Internet. YOU MUST CITE EVERY PIECE OF INFORMATION YOU OBTAIN!!!
The following website will help you with the proper form for source citations:

For information on your topic, I suggest beginning with a Google or Yahoo or Ask search often the issue or bill name + implementation is a great starting point. (e.g. Iraq troop funding implementation) Then, branch out beyond the Internet.
1. What is the bill you are researching? (name and number)
2. What is the purpose of the bill you are researching? What issue(s) does it address?
3. How does this bill address the issue at hand?
4. What government agencies will be responsible for carrying out this law?
5. How much money is attached to this bill and how is it supposed to be spent?
6. Does federalism play a role in this bill? If so, what is the responsibility of state and local governments?
7. Does implementation of this bill require coordination between the public (government) and the private (business & non-profits) sectors of our economy? If so, describe those relationships.
