Law new is a broad term used to describe legislation that addresses a particular issue or reflects an adjustment to existing policies. The process by which legislation is created involves a number of stages, including bill drafting, committee review, and floor debate. It also includes opportunities for bipartisan support, which can lead to more comprehensive legislation that is well received by the public and government agencies.
The idea for a new law often comes from an elected official, but it can also be recommended by people or organizations that lobby the member of Congress who represents them. Once a proposed law is drafted, it is introduced. Then, it is assigned to a committee where lawmakers can carefully analyze and change the legislation before it is brought to the floor for a vote.
After a bill is passed by both houses of the legislature, it is sent to the Governor for signature or veto. If the Governor signs a bill, it becomes a law. If the Governor vetoes a bill, it is sent back to the house that first passed it, with a statement of the reason why the Governor does not approve of the legislation. If that house votes to override the Governor’s veto, the bill becomes a law.
