Document Summary
A bill is a proposal for a law. Ideas for bills come from many sources: examples: a legislator"s (cid:272)o(cid:374)stitue(cid:374)ts, (cid:271)usi(cid:374)esses, go(cid:448)er(cid:374)(cid:373)e(cid:374)t age(cid:374)(cid:272)ies, professio(cid:374)al associations, interest groups and other state legislatures. When a legislator recognizes a problem that could be pursued through legislation, the idea is put into the form of a bill. Once a senator decides to sponsor a bill, the senator submits a request to the legislative. Service bureau to write or draft the bill. After the bill draft is completed, it is returned to the sponsor for review and filed with the. Secretary of the senate or house, who assigns the bill a number: the same bill will be given a different number as it moves through the house and. Senate: s 207 for the senate, hr 8516 for the house (larger because this chamber is bigger & sees more bills)
