Introduction: A bill can be proposed by members of Parliament, the Government, or citizens through a specific process.
-

-
Presidential Signature: Once approved by Parliament, the bill is sent to the President of Portugal for enactment.
-
Publication: After the President's signature, the bill is published in the "Diário da República," and becomes law.
