Legislative Proposal

A legislative proposal is a formal suggestion for a new law or an amendment to an existing law, put forward for consideration by a legislative body, like a parliament or congress. It outlines the specifics of the proposed change, including its purpose and impact. Lawmakers review, debate, and vote on the proposal, which must be approved by a majority to become law. This process allows citizens to influence governance and ensures that laws reflect the needs and interests of society. In essence, it is a means for creating or changing rules that govern us.
