If your state has an initiative process, you can take your idea to the people. If you get enought signatures for your petition, then it goes on the ballet. If the majority of voters say yes, it's law!

first, write a proposal for the law and send it to your congressmember. then, write a petition for your law and get people to sign it, and then request a meeting with your congressmember to talk about it. that's what i would do.

Not just yet.  It passed in the State Senate, but needs to be approved by the House and Governor.

Depends upon the state you're in.  Most western states allow citizen "iniatives" or "propositions." If you get enough signatures (usually a percentage of the population) then it can go on the ballot for a statewide vote.  If it passes, it can become law (without the legislature's approval.)  Other states don't have that option at all (a good idea, in my mind. The only thing more corrupt than a legislature is a CITIZEN INITIATIVE!) So your only resort is to ask your legislators to change the law.\nHere's a link to a state map showing initiative states;\nhttp://www.iandrinstitute.org/statewide_i&r.htm

In United States, It is pretty easy.\n\n1. Someone writes a bill.\n2. If the party that someone belongs to has the majority, the bill goes for voting.\n3. The majority approves the bill without even giving it a glance.\n4. If the president is with the same party, he would sign it and it becomes law, if not then he probably would veto.\n\nAnother way.\n1. Someone writes a 'paper-clip' bill.\n2. The paper-clip bill is attached to the bill with the biggest possibility of passing congress.\n3. Every approves the bill without even taking a glance at it.\n4. Pres. sign it and it becomes law.

A printed copy is delivered to the President for his signature.  It does not have to be signed to actually become a law.  If the President does not VETO the bill, it will automatically become law after a certain time frame.

A legislation is a act decision made by the legislative branch (congress).\n\nIt can be poposed by just about anyone, but it usually takes a powerful voice to be heard. It must first be passed by the house of repesentatives, and then onto the Senate.

First, a bill is drafted by a representative. It then goes to the legislative house of the rep. and is assigned a committee (different houses have different means of doing this). Then it is probably assigned to a subcommittee that researches it, and sends it off back to the full committee with a recomendation. The committee will then debate, and hear testimony on the bill and it's effects. It could be amended here at any point along the process. Then, it it will be voted on, if it fails, it dies and is redrafted. If the vote ties or passes, it will go to the full floor of the body. The body will then debate and maybe amend it. Then vote on it. If it fails it will go back to the committee. If it passes it will go to the other legislative body (if the govt. is bicameral), WITHOUT THE AMENDMENTS! The other house will vote on amendments etc. If it fails it goes back to the committee, if it passes, it goes to the president/governor/mayor/etc. (see the next paragraph). If it passes with different amendments, or with only some of the amendments, or none at all, it will go to a confrence committee, and the committee will work on it, and so on and so forth.\n\nThe pres/gov/etc can sign it, and it will become a law. Veto it and it will not become a law, (the legislative body can override a veto with a 2/3 vote) and the bill will go back to the legislature with a list of objections to the bill. Or, he can do nothing, and it will be pocket vetoed in 10 days.\n\nIf the bill finally becomes a law, someone can sue the govt. and the courts can overturn it if it finds that the law in unconstitutional.

The basic method...\nWrite a bill and get some co-sponsors.\nThe bill gets directed to the appropriate Congressional committee for discussion and review.  It may be rejected for modification, rejected outright or approved.  If approved, it is then put on the calendar for approval by the entire house of Congress.\nIf the bill requires both houses to approve, the same will be done in both houses.  During the approval process, it may be modified/amended outright, sent back to committee for further review, rejected completely or approved.\nOnce approved it goes to the President.  If both houses approve the bill, however in slightly different ways, there is a joint committee that compromises the bill to something both houses agree with before sending it to the President.\nOnce the President gets it, he can either sign it or veto it.  If vetoed, it needs 2/3 of Congress to override.\n\nThe real way is a lot dirtier.  It involves trading of favors (you vote for my bill, I'll vote for yours), attempts to tack on riders and amendments (adding money for a pork project to an unrelated bill) and a lot of petty partisan politics.

Has the bill been signed yet. I thought it was still in committee. Once a bill is passed and signed by the president it takes any where from 30 days to 6 mos sometimes longer depending on the provision in the bill. You can call Sen. Alexander office they will know. 202-224-4944.

First, a bill must pass both houses of Congress by a majority vote. After it has passed out of Congress, it is sent along to the President. If the President signs the bill, it becomes law.\n\nThe President might not sign the bill, however. If he specifically rejects the bill, called a veto, the bill returns to Congress. There it is voted on again, and if both houses of Congress pass the bill again, but this time by a two-thirds majority, then the bill becomes law without the President's signature. This is called "overriding a veto," and is difficult to do because of the two-thirds majority requirement.\n\nAlternately, the President can sit on the bill, taking no action on it at all. If the President takes no action at all, and ten days passes (not including Sundays), the bill becomes law without the President's signature. However, if the Congress has adjourned before the ten days passes and without a Presidential signature, the bill fails. This is known as a pocket veto.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe process laid out in the Constitution is relatively complicated when it comes to vetoes, but pretty simple when it comes to approving a bill. But in reality, there is a lot more to law making than these steps spelled out in a clause of the Constitution.
