About law new
Legislation passed by Congress or other legislative bodies is known as legislation. When a bill is voted on by committee and recommended for approval, the staff writes a committee report which gives detailed information about the purpose of the bill. This report sets forth in section-by-section analysis precisely what the proposed law is intended to do. It also includes explanations of the changes in existing laws.
