I love lists because it makes it easier for your reader to process it. As an example, look at this text written in narrative and the same material in a list. Senate Bill 461 (Cullerton, D-Chicago; Currie, D-Chicago) makes the following changes to getting a tax deed: (1) It allows the owner of a certificate of purchase in a scavenger sale to file a petition at any time within six months (instead of five) before the expiration of the redemption period from a sale. (2) It conforms post-judgment practice and service of notice of the redemption period to the Code of Civil Procedure. (3) It requires that purchaser must give notice of tax sale and the right to redeem not less than three months or more than six months (instead of five) before the expiration of the period of redemption. (4) It allows the court to give possession to the tax-deed grantee or grantee's successor in interest (instead of just tax-deed grantee). Or this.

Make sure that they are parallel in substance and grammar.  (Richard C. Wydick, Plain English for Lawyers) You may use bullets instead of numbers or letters but don’t use bullets if the list is going to be cited. (Bryan A.
