The legislative process
We have completed week three of the legislative session with bills on the move in both houses.
I will give a simple review of the process. Bills are drafted form requests from a legislator. Those bills are reviewed by legal and edit, then by the requesting legislator. If the bill is as the legislator wanted, they then drop in in the hopper of their body and it is given a bill number, SBxx or HBxx. The bill is then assigned to the appropriate committee by the leader of that body for a hearing. The bill hearing is scheduled by the chairman of the committee, giving three days notice for the public to attend in person or by zoom in the hearing.
