Assembly Bill
An Assembly Bill is a proposal for new legislation or changes to existing laws that is introduced in the lower house of a state legislature, known as the Assembly. It must go through several steps, including debates and votes, before it can become law. Assembly Bills address various issues, such as education, healthcare, and public safety. If approved by the Assembly and the upper house (often called the Senate), it is sent to the governor for final approval or veto. This process is a key part of how laws are made at the state level in the United States.
