Where are revisions of bills made?

Answer 1

A legislative bill goes through an intensive process and is revised during the committee section. After the bill has been voted on by the full committee, they will hold a mark-up section in which the bill is revised and edited. If substantial amendments are made, the committee can order the introduction of a "clean bill" which will include the proposed amendments. This new bill will have a new number and will be sent to the floor while the old bill is discarded. The chamber must approve, change or reject all committee amendments before conducting a final passage vote.

Answer 2

Revisions of bills are typically made by legislative staffers or members of the legislative body within a designated committee or subcommittee. These revisions may be based on input from various stakeholders, legal experts, or constituents to address concerns, improve clarity, or align the bill with legislative intent. Once revisions are proposed, they undergo the legislative process before final approval and enactment.
