The Journey of a Bill: From Introduction to Becoming Law

The process of how a bill becomes a law involves multiple stages, starting with its introduction by a delegate, followed by referral to a relevant committee, hearings, discussions, and debates in both the House and Senate. After passing through these steps, the bill is either signed into law or vetoed by the governor, ultimately shaping public policy.
