Well, A bill is passed by... First, a bill is introduced by either the house or the senate. Then, they have committee hearings. Next they take floor action. then if the bill is passed to the house or passed on they have more committee hearings then floor action, then it depends. If the bill is passed with amendments than it goes back to the house that passed the bill. If the bill is passed without amendments than the bill goes straight to the Governor. If the bill was passed with amendments the after the house that passed the bill had it then it goes to the Governor and if it is not vetoed than it will become a law on the first of the next year. Same with the bill that was passed with no amendments.
If this was confusing then there is diagram on a website that is more understandable.

A Representative has an idea for a new law, and they make a bill and become that bill's sponsor. Then the bill is assigned to a committee, and is studied. The standing committee studies the bill, and hears testimonies from experts. The bill goes on a calendar, then on to the floor of the House of Representatives. After this is is introduced in the Senate, and then is assigned to another committee. It next moves to a conference committee, then it is now signed by the Speaker of the House and then the Vice President. Lastly, it goes through the President for approval or denial.Ê
Except for revenue bills which must originate in the lower house, bills can be introduced in either house of Congress. They are sent to appropriate committees for review and if approved, go the floor for a vote. If passed the bill is sent to the other house for introduction, review and a possible vote. Often amendments are made and/or versions of a bill are passed in both houses. In this case a special committee irons out the differences and if all goes well, the jointly approved bill is sent to the president. If he signs it, it becomes law. If he vetoes it, Congress must re-consider it and if it passes again with a 2/3 majority by both houses, it becomes law without the president's approval.
