I have a question on the states legislative process. If the governor vetoes a bill, is it a done deal? Do legislators take it up with the State Supreme Court or elsewhere? Couldnt find answer in Google. My lawyer friend wasnt sure. Please advise. Thanks! ******************************* NATIONAL PROGRESS REQUIRES GRASSROOTS EFFORTS. (Scott D. Reich) iCivics’ Road Map 1.

Where Ideas Originate – legislators, government agencies, department of education, and the MAJORITY FROM SPEICAL INTEREST GROUPS i.e., private groups that work to support special causes by trying to get laws passed that will help those causes (e.g., support disabled people, military veterans, etc.). B. How a Bill Becomes Law (Procedures Similar to National Level) (1) A bill is introduced in the State House of Representatives. (2) A Committee, a small group of legislators, will study related bills. (3) Subcommittees will focus on narrow topic and research, study, and revise. (4) Committee approves the bill, the entire House of Representatives votes on the bill. (5) If the bill passes, it is forwarded to the State Senate. Same process applies. (6) Bill passed in both chambers will go to the Conference Committee (members of both houses) to work out the differences. (7) Both houses approve the bill, and is forwarded to the governor’s desk. The governor may sign or veto (within seven consecutive days after presentation; 5 days for AZ).
