Legislative actions refer to the processes through which laws are proposed, debated, and enacted by a governing body, such as a parliament or congress. These actions typically begin with the introduction of a bill, which is a draft of a proposed law. The bill is then reviewed, amended, and voted on by the members of the legislative body. Once a bill is approved, it may be sent to the executive branch, often the president or governor, for approval or veto. If signed into law, the bill becomes an official statute, impacting the lives of citizens and shaping public policy.
