THE CASE IN BRIEF
A campaign speech, a draft regulation, a bill and a signed law are four different things. This file is a guide to distinguishing them.
What we know
Proposals do not automatically become law. Bills must pass the legislative process; federal regulations generally follow administrative procedures; judicial stays may affect enforcement.
What readers can do
Use Congress.gov for bills, FederalRegister.gov for rulemaking, GovInfo for enacted public laws, and court dockets for litigation. Keep a dated note of what changed.
