The Creation of a BillMembers of the House or Senate draft, sponsor and introduce bills for consideration by Congress. The House clerk assigns a legislative number for bills introduced in the House of Representatives and the Senate clerk assigns a legislative number for bills introduced in the Senate.STEP 2: Committee ActionUsually, a committee is assigned to study the bill according to its subject matter. Often a committee will refer the bill to one of its subcommittees. The full committee may make a recommendation to pàss the bill, to revise and release the bill, or to lay the bill asideSTEP 3: Floor ActionThe bill is returned to the full House or Senate for further debate and approval. At this point members may propose amendments to the bill, add additional text, or otherwise alter the bill.STEP 4: VoteHouse and Senate members vote on their respective versions of the proposed bill.STEP 5: Conference CommitteesA bill must be approved by both Chambers of Congress. The final compromise is embodied in a Conference Report that must be agreed to by both chambers before it is cleared for presidential consideration. STEP 6: Presidential ActionAfter the bill is pàssed by both Chambers it is sent to the President for his approval or his signature, which if GRANTED creates a Public Law. When a President comments on and refuses to sign a bill it is known as a veto. A VETOED bill may return to Congress for reconsideration. STEP 7: The Creation of a LawThe Office of Federal Register assigns the Public Law a number (i.e. P.L. 109-1) and the Government Printing Office prints a copy of it. Laws are ISSUED first in slip form or a single publication containing one law.
