n accordance with state constitutional laws, a bill is subjected to three readings. The first reading is purely informational, allowing the recommendation of the committee to be heard by the legislature. The second reading is the amendment process whereby members of the committee or individual legislators propose amendments to the bill. Finally, the last reading of a bill is the vote of passage or rejection reading. Conditional upon being passed by one chamber, a bill is sent to the other chamber where the process is repeated. All bills originating in the House of Representatives begin with "H.R.", and all bills originating in the the Senate begin with an "S.". If a bill passes in both chambers, it is sent to the governor for ruling.</onlyinclude>
