Legislative procedure refers to the formal process by which laws are proposed, debated, and enacted within a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress. This process typically begins with the introduction of a bill, which is then assigned to a committee for review. The committee may hold hearings, make amendments, and ultimately vote on whether to send the bill to the full legislative body. Once a bill reaches the full legislative body, it undergoes further debate and may be amended again. Afterward, members vote on the bill. If it passes, it is sent to the executive branch for approval or veto. If approved, the bill becomes law.
