In order to influence policy, you have to understand how a bill is started, moves through the legislative system, and finally enacted. In this assignment, you will trace a piece of legislation from introduction to how it impacts health care or nursing practice. Develop the assignment as if it will be used during a presentation at a conference or poster presentation.
Step 1: Identify a bill that relates to health care, a social issue, or nursing practice. You may select a federal or state bill

State the legislation name and summarize the purpose of the bill
Who introduced/sponsored the bill?
Where was it introduced? (U.S. Congress or a state legislature)
