Draft laws may be introduced to the Landtag in various ways: by the proposal of at least six members, by any parliamentary group, by the state government, or by public petition. Draft laws are first sent to a relevant committee by the President of the Landtag, which considers the draft law and makes amendments if necessary. The committee then submits a report to the Landtag recommending either its adoption or rejection, after which point the Landtag debates and votes on the law. If it is adopted, it is submitted to the Minister-President and relevant state minister for countersigning, after which point it is promulgated by the state government and enters into force.
