There are different ways for groups of people to suggest a new law in the United States. The process takes place on The U.S. Congress, in the legislative branch of the federal government.
Congress has two legislative bodies or chambers and anyone in both chambers can propose a new law:
- the U.S. Senate
- the U.S. House of Representatives.
The idea of the law can come from any citizen, but it has to be backed by one elected official. Once you gained the support, the law should be written on a bill.
¿How a citizen should propose a bill?
- First, you should study the background to determine whether your law will apply at the local, state or federal level.
- Then, write the proposal of law.
- When you finish, contact a representative that you think can be interested in your idea.
