Inception

Co-Sponsors: Other legislators who support the bill can sign on as co-sponsors. Having multiple sponsors can show broad support for the bill and can help in gathering more votes.

Primary Sponsor: A legislator who supports the bill takes on the role of the primary sponsor. The primary sponsor is responsible for introducing the bill to the legislature.

Drafting: The idea is then drafted into a bill by the legislative staff or the Office of the Code Reviser.

Idea Formation: The process begins with an idea for a new law or an amendment to an existing law. This idea can come from anyone, including legislators, constituents, interest groups, or government agencies.
