I must say, I did not have the slightest clue on how a bill became a law, but I did some research and found out that it really isn't that complicated of a process. First, the bill originates in either the House or the Senate. From there, it is put on a commitee and is organized the way that they want it. There is a debate on the bill and then they vote. Whether it passes or not depends on where it goes next. It can either go back to the committee to do some more work on it if it doesn't pass, or it can pass and be sent over to the other legislative branch. If it passes there, it is sent to the Governor. The Governor can either approve it or veto it. If it is vetoed, however, it can still pass with a 2/3 vote.
I did not really know anything on this subject but I learned from the websites that this process isn't really all that complicated. I learned that if the Governor doesn't like the bill and vetoes it, it can still pass with a 2/3 vote from the legislative branch that it came with.
