How does an idea become a law?

Many people tend to have interesting ideas for laws; but how does an idea really become a law? Well first, someone has to come up with the idea. Then, that person or the senate writes a bill suggesting that idea to become a law. That idea is then introduced to the House or the Senate and is reviewed by the committee. If the House decides to pass the bill, it is sent to the chamber of the General Assembly then to the Governer where there is a meeting and the final version of the bill is passed. The governer signs the bill and the Secretary of State is given the bill which then becomes a law.
I have always had many ideas which I thought would be great laws but never knew how to get it done. Although it takes a lot of time and processing, it can be done. I think that the government opens their horizons for people's ideas because I have heard of laws which I never even imagined could become laws. For example, in Arizona, a man can legally beat his wife but not more than once a month. In Alabama, dominoes are not allowed to be played on Sunday. These are such crazy laws. Turns out anyone can make their idea into a law.
