Bill Name Generator

Real bills have two names: a long title that begins "A bill to..." and runs for a paragraph, and a short title that everyone actually uses. The short title follows a tight formula. It names a subject (rural broadband, lead pipes, school lunches), adds a verb-like noun that signals what the bill does (Expansion, Restoration, Accountability, Relief, Modernization, Prevention), and ends in Act, often with a year: the Lead Pipe Replacement Act of 2027. Congressional drafters favor concrete nouns and positive framing, so a bill that cuts a program is still titled as if it is saving something.

Three other conventions are worth knowing. Backronyms spell a friendly word with the first letters of a longer title (SAFE Schools Act, BRIDGE Act, STREAM Act) and are a staple of press-release politics. Memorial bills carry the name of a person whose story inspired them, usually a victim or a public servant, followed by the subject. And non-bill instruments have their own shapes: resolutions begin "A Resolution Recognizing...", constitutional changes are Amendments, city councils pass Ordinances, and Westminster-style legislatures use Bill with a parenthetical scope, as in Coastal Access (Scotland) Bill.

The list mixes all of these, plus student-government bills and speculative future legislation, for Model UN packets, civics lessons, political novels and strategy games.
