    The document outlines the baseline flow chart for how a bill progresses through the legislative process. It begins with an author filing a bill, which is then referred to the appropriate committee. The committee deliberates, and can either recommend the bill favorably or unfavorably. If favorably recommended, the committee report is filed and referred to the Committee on Rules to determine further action, such as including it on the calendar. The bill then proceeds to second and third readings, which include sponsorship, debate, amendments, and a vote, before being transmitted to the Senate.
