Legislative Process
Guides to Understanding and Researching the Legislative Process
The legislative process in the United States is very complex. It begins when a bill is introduced in the Senate or House of Representatives and involves many steps and actions along the path toward becoming a law. Many documents are produced during the legislative process; finding and studying these documents is the key to learning about the legislative history of a bill or law.
