Legislative Process
1. Bill introduction and Committee action - Once a legislative proposal is introduced it becomes a bill - Bill sponsors can recruit other members to support and cosponsor legislation. (House bill begins with H.R., Senate bills begin with S.) - Majority of bills introduced are not passed - House Speaker or Senate Majority Leader may choose to bypass Committees and bring legislation directly to the floor
