The Legislative Process Part II
In last week's article, I began outlining the Texas lawmaking process. In that article, I covered how a law or bill begins from its initial conception to it going before a committee of the respective lawmaking bodies on its way to the Texas House or Senate chamber floor. This week I will cover the rest of the lawmaking process from how the bill makes its way on to the appropriate calendar of each chamber, to it appearing on the Governor's desk where it may be vetoed, signed or passed into law without the Governor's signature. Read the full article.
