I think many, if not most, know how government works at the level you describe. But if you can teach anyone that doesn't know what you described something new, that's time well spent and very much appreciated. Everyone needs to keep learning new things, especially about how our government works.
Each state constitution can very from another state's so it's important for everyone to know their own state's constitution, in addition to the United States Constitution.
What you described is the same in all states, so it's a good foundation to understand.
Both state houses and the governor need to sign bills to create new laws. This is why states with divided houses or a split between houses and a governor often get stuck in the mud with neither side getting anything done.
The good news is that Florida has an absolutely based Governor and a strong majority in the state senate and state house. I'm feeling confident this one is going through.
Thanks for sharing u/gobby 👈🏻
You're welcome, MAGA_Patriot_1776. And btw, the explanation wasn't meant for you, just people in general. I included it because I recently had a similar conversation with someone in a different thread who said they didn't know a bill had to pass both houses. :o( It frustrates me that government and civics classes were dropped by so many schools. For some reason, people aren't learning these basic things. And it's all so important. I have had numerous conversations with people about the US Constitution (and I'm no expert) and am always perplexed by how little people understand about it. I actually have wished on a number of occasions that a constitutional type expert would post here and enlighten us all more fully. Wishful thinking, I suppose. Thanks for the news though.
I really appreciate your comment u/gobby 👍🏻. We have a very wide spectrum of people on this board. Members range every walk of life and every level of understanding. And many are from around the world. I wouldn't expect someone from another country to know our history and government as we do. So I thank you for your explanation.
I think you've hit on a great idea with having posts about the constitution. I might even take a crack at something like that. it could start an interesting discussion thread and I have a feeling the Constitutional Experts might way in on that typ of thread. I hope they do. At the very least, it may also be the catalyst for someone to take a closer look.
You can rest assured of this... The more Americans that know and understand our Constitution, the stronger our nation will become. The stronger our political force will become. There will be many great results from such understanding.
Here's to you and your continued efforts to help our community understand our Constitution more fully.

Actually, the bicameral legislature you mentioned is present in 49 of the 50 states. Nebraska has a unicameral legislature, and is the only state to do so. The members of the legislative branch in Nebraska are all called Senators.
That's why I love this community so much. Thank you u/NeuroticFisherman 👈🏻
Does this relate in anyway as to why Nebraska can split their electoral votes as well?

So 1 per district, and winner gets the 2 senator votes.
He's politely telling you that your headline is misleading.
It's a copied and pasted headline and that's on me.
While it states the senate did so, I certainly I agree it is misleading, because nothing is terminated until the state house, state senate, and Governor agree and sign the bill.
I will double check before copy/pasting next time to be more accurate.
Thanks u/pearlrevolver 👈🏻
There's nothing wrong with the heading. If anything you could add the words "voted to". We understand that it's not a law but at least they got the wheels in motion. It would be nice to see other states be half as effective at getting things out of committee and to the floor.
