Actually, a standing bill is a proposed piece of legislation that is pending before a legislature and has not yet been enacted into law. Once it is enacted, it becomes a statute or law.

The committees decide if the bill is "good" or not to become a law.

A law school graduate obtains his or her Juris Doctorate degree. To become an attorney, s/he must then take and pass the bar exam administered by the state in which s/he will practice law. Thereafter, that person will always be a lawyer -- but whether he or she can practice law or not is determined by her "standing" as a lawyer. Either she is in "good standing," or she is not. A lawyer who is not in good standing is generally prohibiting from practicing law. (Falling out of good standing is most often the result of a failure to pay annual dues.)
