> It's the bureaucrats, who are the real specialists in crafting the details of legislation that are actually relevant. In my experience, it's often just "interested parties". I'm thinking of multiple cases where political advocacy groups I've worked with have drafted a bill proposal and taken it directly to state-level legislators seeking to have them sponsor it. In every case, they either refused or submitted the bill as-is without modification. In one case, that means that an Arkansas law was actually drafted by a 16-year-old (me). That one was relatively minor in the grand scheme of things, but still :)
