Revenue Bills

Revenue bills are proposed laws that specifically deal with raising money for the government, primarily through taxes and other income sources. These bills are essential because they determine how the government funds public services like healthcare, education, and infrastructure. Under the U.S. Constitution, revenue bills must originate in the House of Representatives, but the Senate can suggest amendments. Once approved by both chambers and signed into law by the President, these bills become the legal means for collecting revenue, ensuring the government has the funds needed to operate effectively.
