Checklist:
Are you certain that you are working with a bill (government proposition), and not, for example, a white paper, a committee report, a legislative proposal, or another type of document from the Norwegian Parliament? These can sometimes be difficult to distinguish from one another, so read the cover page and title page carefully.
Test yourself!
