<onlyinclude>Introduction: In the United States, a bill is a proposed piece of legislation to be considered by the legislature. Specifically, entities ranging from corporations, citizens, special interest groups, and anything in between, can propose an idea for a bill to a legislator.
Step 2: Since there are numerous bills proposed daily, committees composed of small groups of legislators, review the content of the proposed bill in detail.
Step 3: If deemed an appropriate course of action, committees may refer a bill to a subcommittee for further study and hearings on the piece of legislation. Hearings provide an opportunity for experts, proponents, or opposition to make their views known during the subcommittee review process.
