California Legislative Process
The California Legislative Process involves several steps for a bill to become law. It begins when a legislator introduces a bill in either the California State Assembly or the California State Senate. The bill is then assigned to a committee for review, where it can be amended or rejected. If approved, it moves to the floor for debate and voting.
Once both chambers pass the bill, it is sent to the Governor for approval. The Governor can sign the bill into law, allow it to become law without a signature, or veto it. If vetoed, the legislature can attempt to override the veto with a two-thirds majority vote.
