Upgrade StorageThe true creator of a bill
Hello. In the item type Bill, the Sponsor fills the Creator column in the main pane view. I am working with Portuguese legal documents (law and normative rules in school organizations) and for me the concept of a Sponsor don't even make any sense (in fact it sounds like political or organizational corruption). I would like to fill the Creator column with the content in the "Legislative body". In a context of rules of democracy and bureaucracy, the Legislative body is the sole legitimate creator of a bill. So... Someone could explain this option (the sponsor is the creator of a law/rule/normative and not the legislative body) in a way I can understand?
The sponsor is the person, in almost all cases a member of parliament/Congress, who introduces a bill to the parliament. They may often have plaid an important role in drafting it (in the UK, ministers, who are always MPs, often introduce bills). That does mean they are the closest to an author that a bill has.
