A good post by Windwalker on how a bill becomes a law:

Quote
How a Bill Becomes a Law

1. A bill may be introduced in either the Senate or House of Representatives by a member.
2. It is referred to a committee for a hearing. The committee studies the bill and may hold public hearings on it. It can then pass, reject, or take no action on the bill.
3. The committee report on the passed bill is read in open session of the House or Senate, and the bill is then referred to the Rules Committee.
4. The Rules Committee can either place the bill on the second reading calendar for debate before the entire body, or take no action.
5. At the second reading, a bill is subject to debate and amendment before being placed on the third reading calendar for final passage.
6. After passing one house, the bill goes through the same procedure in the other house.
7. If amendments are made in the other house, the first house must approve the changes.
8. When the bill is accepted in both houses, it is signed by the respective leaders and sent to the governor.
9. The governor signs the bill into law or may veto all or part of it. If the governor fails to act on the bill, it may become law without a signature.

Unfortunately, old posts may contain outdated links that go nowhere.  If readers find links that are no  longer working, please notify the person that posted those links so they might be updated.

In the case of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF): https://www.nssf.org/
A couple of good links to useful NSSF web pages are:

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS: https://www.nssf.org/government-relations/

LEGISLATIVE ACTION CENTER: https://www.nssf.org/government-relations/legislative-action-center/

However, exploring the website can produce access to other link and useful information.
