Bill Legislation Process

The bill legislation process is a structured way for proposed laws to be created and enacted. It begins when a legislator drafts a bill. The bill is then introduced in either the House of Representatives or the Senate, where it's debated and may be amended. Afterward, it goes to a committee for further review. If approved, it is voted on by the whole chamber. If both chambers of the legislature approve the bill, it goes to the president or governor for final approval. If signed, it becomes law; if vetoed, there may be an opportunity for Congress to override the veto.
