Which term describes a document that is discussed or voted on by the State Legislature or Federal House or Senate?

• A. Ordinance
• B. Legislation
• C. Minimum standards
• D. Regulatory Agency

Answer: (B)

Legislation is the term for a document that is discussed or voted on by the State Legislature or the Federal House or Senate. These bodies consider bills—proposed laws—that go through debate and voting; once enacted (and signed, where required), they become laws that govern behavior and policy. An ordinance is local law created by a city or county government, not by state or federal legislators. Minimum standards are general requirements, not a specific document being debated in the legislature. A regulatory agency is the government body that writes and enforces rules, not the document itself.
