Question-1

The bill must be passed by the both houses of representatives and the senate and be signed by the Governor General. Most bills start in the House of Representatives, although they can also be introduced in the senate.

Min the house bill is officially introduced by placing them in a special box know as the hopper, which is located at the rostrum or speaker platform. In the senate a bill is introduced by placing it on the presiding officers desk or by formally introducing it on the senate floor.

There are five steps to making bills into a law in Washington state.

2) testify at your bills hearing

3) meet with other legislators to talk about your bills

4) advocate for your bill by encouraging others to support it
