The progress categories for bills are as follows:
Prefiled/Awaiting Introduction: Bill is drafted and submitted to the legislative body before the official start of the legislative session, but has not yet been formally presented to the chamber for consideration.
Introduced: The proposal for a new law or change to an existing law has been formally submitted by a legislator.
House Committee: A House committee is currently examining and amending the bill and deciding whether to advance it to the next stage of the legislative process.
House Floor: Bill is ready for full debate and potential amendments on the floor of the House chamber.
Senate Committee: A Senate committee is currently examining and amending the bill and deciding whether to advance it to the next stage of the legislative process.
Senate Floor: Bill is ready for full debate and potential amendments on the floor of the Senate chamber.
Joint Committee: The bill is currently being considered and amended by a committee made up of members from both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Final Vote: The legislative body is currently taking the last vote on the bill before it is sent to the governor.
Passed: The bill has been signed by the governor and passed into law.
Failed: The bill did not successfully pass through the legislative process and will not become law.
Injuncted: A court has issued a legal order preventing that bill from being enacted or implemented, putting it on hold until legal issues surrounding the bill are resolved.
Undone: A previously passed piece of legislation is effectively canceled or reversed, usually through the passing of a new law that explicitly repeals the old one.
Struck Down: A court has declared the bill to be illegal and unenforceable
Crossed Over: The bill has been reported out of committee and has been passed a vote by the full chamber
Vetoed: An official has refused to approve the bill, preventing it from becoming law.
Veto Override Vote: Occurs when the legislature passes a bill despite a veto by the executive branch; requires a supermajority vote in both chambers of Congress. Typically this requires a 2/3 majority, but the specific threshold varies by state.
