Beauty Pageants
I would like to propose that girls under the age of 18 should not be permitted to participate in any type of beauty pageant. I believe the rules involving pageants and it's participants should be more constricted because pageants encourage girls to compare themselves to impossible standards and in turn, cause eating disorders, body dissatisfaction and depression. My primary audience would start with Florida's House of Representatives (specifically Rep. Matt Caldwell, as he would be the one needing persuading to represent the Bill to the House), and from there (if it is passed) it would be represented by the State Senator to Congress. If it passes there, it would go to the President to make it officially a Law.
In theory, the process seems simple, however in practice it can take months upon months of discussing the Bill, arguing about it, revising it, sending it to Congress, sending it back to the House after a revision to be re-voted on, etc etc. It is incredibly long and tedious. And not to mention the effort into convincing a Representative to sponsor it in the first place. Some problems that the proposal may get could involve Representatives who are against the Bill passing, the Beauty Pageant Industry getting involved, or Congressmen/women being against the Bill passing. There are thousands of possibilities that could prevent it from passing all the way to where the President would have to make it into an official Law. As for costs, it would really depend on how much opposition there is.
