Advocacy Glossary
Enrolled bill
What does enrolled bill mean?
An enrolled bill is the final version of a bill passed by both chambers in identical form and prepared for the President's or governor's signature.
Why it matters for advocates
Enrollment is the last step before a bill reaches the executive's desk. The text is locked at this point.
When a bill is enrolled, advocacy shifts from legislators to the executive. Letters asking for a signature, or a veto, go to the governor's or President's office.
