Bill Hearing

A bill hearing is a formal meeting where legislators discuss a proposed bill, which is a draft of a new law. During the hearing, committee members listen to testimony from various stakeholders, including experts, advocates, and sometimes the public, who express their support or concerns about the bill. This process helps legislators gather information, understand different perspectives, and assess the bill's potential impact before deciding whether to move it forward for further debate or a vote. Bill hearings are an essential part of the legislative process, ensuring transparency and public involvement.
