| Description: |
A hierarchical structure used within appropriations legislation.
An account (structure of legislation) is a rarely used element, as most appropriations accounts are tagged as titles (structure of legislation). However, when several accounts are grouped under a general heading, (e.g., “Related Accounts” or “General Provisions”), the general heading is tagged as a title (structure of legislation), and the individual accounts contained within are tagged as accounts (structure of legislation). When used, an account (structure of legislation) is typically comprised of one or more subaccounts (structure of legislation).
The formatting of an account (structure of legislation) will be according to the rules of the appropriation style. The style will control such display issues as the fonts and highlighting used, centering of headings, the margins, and the indentation levels. The style will also control generation of text, as well as any punctuation or spacing surrounding or following the header. Accordingly, such punctuation will not be keyed and will not be part of the data. |
