How a Bill Becomes a Law
How a Bill Becomes a Law
About 25,000 bills are introduced in each term of Congress, but only 10 percent become law. These are the steps in the law-making process. A bill may begin in either the House or the Senate except for money bills, which must be introduced in the House:
1. Bill is introduced
2. Bill is referred to a Committee
3. Committee Action
4. Floor Action
5. Conference Committee
6. Presidential Action
7. Bill Becomes A Law
