How does a bill become law in Florida?

In Florida, a bill becomes law through a multi-step legislative process. First, a bill is introduced in either the House of Representatives or the Senate and is assigned to committees for review and potential amendments. If it passes through committee, the bill is then debated and voted on by the full chamber. If approved by both chambers, it is sent to the Governor, who can sign it into law, veto it, or allow it to become law without a signature.

What do committees do in the Congress?

Conference committees operate after the House and the Senate have passed different versions of a bill. Conference committees exist to negotiate a compromise bill that both houses can accept. Both houses of Congress must eventually pass the identical legislation for the bill to become law. (See U.S. Const., art I, sec. 7.) The two houses can reach that identical product through the process of amendments between Houses, where the House passes the Senate bill with a House amendment, or vice versa, but this process can be cumbersome. Thus most major bills become law through using a conference committee. (See Sen. Procedure, 449.)


What role do committees play in turning bills into law?

The committees (and their sub-committees) actually hold hearings, investigate the bill and what it would mean, make modifications and re-write the legislation. If the committees then approve the bill it has more than a 90% chance of being adopted by the chamber. They make it all happen.
