A State Legislature is a governing body responsible for making laws at the state level in the United States. Each state has its own legislature, which typically consists of two chambers: the State Senate and the State House of Representatives. Legislators, elected by the public, propose, debate, and vote on laws that affect their state. The primary functions of a state legislature include creating state laws, approving budgets, and overseeing state agencies. They also have the power to amend state constitutions and can influence federal policies through their decisions. Each state’s legislature operates under its own set of rules and procedures.
