At any time, if the house or senate votes to "pigeonhole" a bill(majority vote not to pass the bill to the next step in the lawmaking process) then it will not become a law. if the bill makes it to the president and he doesn't sign it(called a veto) then it will not be a law unless the house and the senate override it w/ a 2/3 majority vote.

∙ 14y agoThe committees do not pass them.
Added; More information: In addition to the above - if both houses of the legislature fail to pass the bill forwarded to them by the committee, it will die. Also: If the legislature does pass the bill and forwards it to the Chief Executive (Governor or President - depending on which level of government we are tallking about) and he/she fails to sign it will die - unless the chief executive's veto is over-ridden by 2/3 vote of the legislature. If the over-ride vote fails then the bill will die without ever becoming law.

This is also the same for bills at the state level, only the governor would veto to stop it there.
