A bill is a proposal for a new law or for a change to an existing law. A senator’s staff may draft a bill, or it could be drafted by an interested party such as a constituent or citizen group. Once a bill has been introduced, it goes through the legislative process that includes hearings and debate. If the bill is passed, it goes to the Governor for signature or veto. If the Governor vetoes the bill, it must be overridden by two-thirds of the members of each house of the Legislature.
