	How a Bill Becomes Law
		Bills enter the legislative process either through the House of Delegates or the Senate, but to become laws, bills must pass both chambers and avoid a governor’s veto.
		After the bill is numbered, the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of Delegates assigns the bill to a committee or committees to be considered.
		Some bills “die in committee”, meaning the committee did not have enough time to take up the issue or the committee members decided the bill should not be recommended to the full membership for action.

		She also said the bill would make it possible for foreign-language teachers to bypass copy protection for digital works bought overseas to be played on electronic devices purchased in the United States.
