How my Office Can Serve You

Suhas works with constituents, advocacy groups, and other legislators to decide what bills to push forward.

Suhas works with the good lawyers at the Department of Legislative Services to turn ideas into legislation.

Each bill is sent by the Speaker of the House to a subcommittee, where it is considered.

If the subcommittee approves the bill, the full committee will have a chance to vote on it.

If the bill passes out of committee, it must be read and passed on the House floor.

If approved by the House, the bill will travel to the House during the 2nd half of session. If the Senate passes the bill, it goes directly to the Governor.

If the Senate makes amendments to the bill, it will go to conference where legislators from both parties and both houses will meet to hash it out.

No bill can become a law without the Governor's signature, but he has the option to veto the bill instead. If he does, the House & Senate can override the veto with a 2/3rds majority in April.
