Statutory law is law enacted by the legislature and embodied in the statutes.
Statutory law begins life as a bill introduced in the legislature. As these bills move through the legislative process, they may attract amendments, fiscal notes or other addenda. Each house of the legislature publishes, overnight, a journal of its actions for each day it is in session. These journals typically record house elections, committee appointments, measures introduced, measures referred to committee, amendments, motions, votes taken, attendance, and the dates when bills are sent to the governor's office. All information about each bill's passage through the legislative process is recorded in the Bulletin of the Proceedings .
