Legislative Procedure

Legislative procedure is the process through which laws are proposed, debated, and enacted in government. It typically begins with a legislator introducing a bill, which is then reviewed by committees. These committees analyze the bill, suggest changes, and decide whether it should move forward. After committee approval, the bill is debated and voted on by the larger legislative body, such as a parliament or congress. If it passes, the bill goes to the executive branch (like the president or governor) for approval. Once signed, it becomes law. This process ensures thorough examination and discussion of proposed legislation.
