California bill process

The California bill process starts when a legislator proposes a new law. The bill is introduced, assigned to a committee for review, and then debated. If the committee approves, it goes to the full legislative chamber (either the Assembly or Senate) for further discussion and voting. If passed, it moves to the other chamber for a similar process. Once both chambers approve the bill, it is sent to the Governor, who can sign it into law, veto it, or allow it to become law without a signature. The entire process ensures careful consideration and debate before any new law is enacted.
