  • The Legislative Process

    Here's a short primer on the legislative process, and how you can influence it.

    1

    Ideation

    John works with constituents, advocacy groups, and other legislators to decide what bills to push forward.

    2

    Drafting

    John works with the good lawyers at the Department of Legislative Services to turn ideas into legislation.

    3

    Sub-committee

    Each bill is sent by the Majority Leader to a subcommittee, where it is considered. Most bills stop here and are sent back for more work.

    4

    Full Committee

    If the subcommittee approves the bill, the full committee will have a chance to vote on it.

    5

    Senate Floor

    If the bill passes out of committee, it must be read and passed on the Senate floor.

    6

    House Floor

    If approved by the Senate, the bill will travel to the House during the 2nd half of session. If the House passes the bill, it goes directly to the Governor.

    7

    Conference Committee

    If the House makes amendments to the bill, it will go to conference where legislators from both parties and both houses will meet to hash it out.

    8

    Governor's Signature

    No bill can become a law without the Governor's signature, but he has the option to veto the bill instead, which the House & Senate can override with a 2/3rds majority.
