Legislative procedures refer to the formal processes through which laws are proposed, debated, and enacted in a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress. These procedures typically involve several stages, including the introduction of a bill, committee review, floor debate, and voting. Each stage ensures that proposed laws are thoroughly examined and discussed before becoming official. In many systems, legislative procedures also include opportunities for public input and amendments. This allows citizens and interest groups to influence the law-making process. Ultimately, successful bills must pass through both chambers of the legislature, if applicable, before being signed into law by the executive.
