Where to work

Browse and act on bills in /politics/state-legislature. Bill pages include debate threads, tallies, and action buttons (vote, sign/veto if governor).

Lifecycle

1. Hopper → Scheduled: bill is filed and placed on the calendar.
2. Debate: members discuss in the bill space; default 72h window.
3. Voting: opens after debate; default 72h voting window.
4. Result: seat-weighted tally sets status to passed or failed when the window closes.
5. Governor review: passed bills move to the governor for up to 72h.
6. Outcome: sign (enacted), veto (goes to override voting), or pocket pass (auto-enact after deadline).
7. Override (planned): 2/3 threshold during override_voting if vetoed.

Voting rules

• Seat-weighted: each legislator’s vote weight matches their seat size.
• One vote per member per bill; you may change it while voting is open.
• Results post automatically when the voting window closes.

Governor actions

• Sign: bill enacts immediately.
• Veto: bill enters override_voting (planned 2/3 threshold).
• No action: after the review deadline, the bill pocket-passes and enacts.
