-
Introduction of Bill
A member of the Senate or the House introduces a bill, which is assigned a unique identifying number (e.g., "H.B. ___" for House bills and "S.B. ___" for Senate bills). If not enacted, it must be reintroduced in the next General Assembly with a new number.

The bill goes to the appropriate committee, which holds hearings to gather expert opinions and determine the need for the legislation.

The committee may make amendments to the bill. If approved, a committee report endorsing the bill is issued.
