Legislative action

Legislative action refers to the process by which elected officials, typically in a legislative body like Congress or a state assembly, draft, propose, debate, and vote on laws. This action is crucial for creating, amending, or repealing laws that govern society. It often involves committees reviewing proposed bills, public hearings for citizen input, and multiple readings and votes before a bill can become law. Effective legislative action ensures that laws reflect the needs and interests of the public while adhering to established procedures and democratic principles.
