| I have an idea for the law. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| yeah I agree to author the idea and take it through the official steps. | |
 | |  |

| Lawyers who work for the legislative write the idea into legal language. It is now called a bill. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| The bill is taken to the Assembly or the Senate. The title is read and the bill is given a number. Every bill number begins with AB or Sb to show in which house it started. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| The bill goes to a committee, which holds meetings that people can attend to tell how they feel about the bill. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| People also tell the legislative what they think about bills by writing letters, sending email messages, or telephoning them. | |
