McGraw Hill, United States Government: Our Democracy © 2018
"Regardless of who suggested or drafted a bill, it must be introduced by a member of the legislature. A bill can be introduced in either house, although many states require bills that raise revenue or spend tax dollars to be introduced in the lower house. The presiding officer sends the bill to the committee that specializes in the bill’s subject matter. The committee discusses the bill and may hold public hearings. During the public hearings, people who are interested in the issue may testify to the committee members.
The committee may rewrite the bill or modify it and then send it back to the full house with a recommendation to be passed or not passed. If one house passes a bill, it must go through a similar process in the other. Sometimes the second house changes a bill. In this case, a conference committee of both houses must meet to draft an acceptable version, on which both houses vote. If it is passed, it goes to the governor for signature or veto. Of bills that are introduced, fewer than one-quarter become law." (237)
