Congressional Committees: Hospice for Proposed Legislation
Jan Novak, Associate Director jan.novak@law.csuohio.edu | May 27, 2009 - 11:18
How
a Bill Becomes a Law, or more appropriately, How it Doesn’t, is the topic of
the Sunlight Foundation’s The Life and
Death of Congressional Bills in the 110th
Congress, which reports that of the 11,059 bills introduced , only 442, or
four percent, became law. The report
graphically depicts where bills go to die (most in the committee they are first
referred to), the number that make it to each stage and the number of days
failed bills stay alive. A visualization
applet displays the life cycle of bills
throughout the session.
