How does one introduce a 'bill' or an 'act'


I want to understand how to introduce a bill or an act.

The bill/act I want to introduce is a simple one ;

"Police officers must earn a certain amount of tenure and training before being issued a gun"

Full stop.

-

The police academy should focus on understanding law.

But it should take years for a police officer to earn their gun carrying ability.

In most states you have a state senate and state house and represented by both a state senator and state representative. You could email them your idea. They typically have office hours where they meet constituents, and you could try to pitch your idea there.

Some states, such as California, have ballot initiatives. There is a process for getting an initiative on the ballot -- you need to collect signatures.
