bill stages

A bill's journey through the legislative process involves several key stages. First, it is introduced and read for the first time. Then, it is examined in detail during committee review. If approved, it is debated and possibly amended on the floor. Once both legislative chambers (such as the House and Senate) agree on the bill, it moves to the other chamber for consideration. After both chambers pass the same version, it goes to the executive (like the President or Governor) for approval or veto. This process ensures thorough review before a bill becomes law.
