Reasoning

Label Reasoning

Description

A Reasoning is a document submitted alongside a bill that argues the necessity of the bill. It has a different tone compared to Submitted texts and often describes this necessity with relations to other bills. Due to this higher level of formality, not all bill types necessarily contain such a text (e.g. questions rarely have a reasoning included).
