QUestion- Who would you expect to have the final say in whether or not a bill becomes a law in Georgia?
Answer- I would expect the Legislator to have the final say in whether or not a bill becomes a law in Georgia.
Explanation- Legislator goes to Office of Legislative Counsel*. There, attorney advises legislator on legal issues and drafts a bill. *LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL The full-time legislative staff agency consisting of attorneys who provide a variety of legal services to members of the General Assembly. The chief responsibility of the Office of Legislative Counsel is to assist members who desire to introduce a bill by researching the proposed law and then drafting the bill in proper format.  Legislator files bill with the Clerk of the House* or Secretary of the Senate**. *CLERK OF THE HOUSE The chief staff officer of the House of Representatives. The Clerk is not a legislator but rather a full-time official who duties include receiving, numbering, and printing copies of all bills and resolutions introduced in the House; recording all committee reports and floor votes on measures; and maintaining the official record of legislative action in the House. **SECRETARY OF THE SENATE The chief staff officer of the Senate and counterpart to the Clerk of the House. The Secretary is not a legislator but rather a full-time official who duties include receiving, numbering, and printing copies of all bills and resolutions introduced in the Senate; recording all committee reports and floor votes on measures; and maintaining the official record of legislative action in the Senate. On legislative day after filing, bill is formally introduced. In chamber, bill’s title* is read during period of 1st readings. *BILL TITLE The formal introduction of a bill, required by the Georgia Constitution, that shows the sections of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated that are affected by the bill and the principal subject matter of the bill. The title prefaces the main body of a bill, and is always founded preceding the phrase, “Be It Enacted by the General Assembly of Georgia.” It is the title of the bill that is read aloud in the chamber.  Immediately after 1st reading, presiding officer assigns bill to a standing committee*. *STANDING COMMITTEE One of a group of permanent legislative committees in each house that study bills that have been introduced and make recommendations to the full house as to whether such bills should be supported. Standing committees are organized around functional areas (e.g., agriculture, education, and health). Generally, no bill can be considered on the floor of a house until reported favorably from standing committee. The list of standing committees is provided for in the rules of each house. Officers and members of standing committees are named by the presiding officer of each house.
