Once a bill is introduced into the Senedd it undergoes scrutiny. This is generally a 4 stage process:
- Stage 1 – consideration and agreement of the general principles of the bill
- Stage 2 – detailed consideration of the bill and any changes by a committee
- Stage 3 – detailed consideration of the bill and any changes by the Senedd
- Report stage – an optional stage to make changes (if required)
- Stage 4 – a vote by the Senedd to pass the final text of the bill.
Further information on the Senedd’s scrutiny process is available in the Senedd’s .
