How a Bill Becomes a Law STEP 1: The Creation of a Bill. Members of the House or Senate draft, sponsor and introduce bills for consideration by Congress. STEP 2: Committee Action. STEP 3: Floor Action. STEP 4: Vote. STEP 5: Conference Committees. STEP 6: Presidential Action. STEP 7: The Creation of a Law.
Let's follow a bill's journey to become law. The Bill Begins. Laws begin as ideas. The Bill Is Proposed. When a Representative has written a bill, the bill needs a sponsor. The Bill Is Introduced. The Bill Goes to Committee. The Bill Is Reported. The Bill Is Debated. The Bill Is Voted On. The Bill Is Referred to the Senate.
First, a representative sponsors a bill. The bill is then assigned to a committee for study. If released by the committee, the bill is put on a calendar to be voted on, debated or amended. If the bill passes by simple majority (218 of 435), the bill moves to the Senate.

How Ideas Become Bills, Then Law An Idea Is Developed. The Bill is Drafted. The Bill is Introduced. The Bill Receives Standing Committee Review and Public Input. The Bill Is Returned to the Floor. The Bill is Debated in Open Session. The Bill Passes Both Houses in the Legislature.
Legislative Branch: The legislative authority is led by 3-7 county commissioners or a county council of 5-9 members.
The bill must receive at least 15 votes in the Senate in order to pass. The Bill Passes Both Houses in the Legislature. After the bill has gone through both houses, it is signed by both presiding officers (the Senate President and the Speaker of the House). The Bill is Prepared for the Governor's Action.
