<onlyinclude>In the United States, a bill is a proposed piece of legislation to be considered by the legislature. Specifically, entities ranging from corporations, citizens, special interest groups, and anything in between, can propose an idea for a bill to a legislator. A bill must be approved by the U.S. House of Representatives,the U.S Senaten, and in the federal case, the Executive Branch in order to become a law. If a bill is enacted into law, it is then formally reassigned as an Act or a statute.
