PayrollOrg’s report, Demystifying the System: Legislative Process for Payroll Professionals, is now available to download for free. The report provides details on the legislative process.
Understanding how a bill becomes a law is important for insight into the many laws and regulations impacting payroll management and to push for adoption of payroll best practices by government decision-makers. The report highlights the general steps in the process and explains variations at the federal, state, local, and territorial levels.
The legislative process is important for readers who want to engage with government leaders on issues of importance to payroll operations. It also explains effective dates for purposes of compliance and about the flexibility given to regulatory and enforcement agencies.
The report includes a diagram of the most common federal and state legislative processes as a quick reference. The diagram starts with the first step of drafting bills and travels through the process to the point of when a signed bill goes to a regulatory agency. The steps show when a bill may not move forward to become law.
