Bill is introduced in either legislative house – Senate or House

Bill is sent to the House of Representatives or senate

If other house passes same bill, it goes to the Governor. If other house passes different version of bill, changes accepted or it goes to Conference Committee. Houses vote to send bill to the Governor or kill it.

SENATE & HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
: Bill referred to
Committee for hearing, report and vote. Dies or is sent on

Bill scheduled for Floor debate and vote. Dies or is sent on

Bill becomes law if Governor signs bill, or does nothing by deadline, or vetoes bill and houses vote to override it.
