What happens in the third reading of the bill?

In the third reading of a bill, the final version is presented before the legislative body for approval. This stage typically involves a debate, but no further amendments can be made. Members vote on whether to pass the bill as it stands, and if approved, it moves to the other chamber (in bicameral legislatures) or to the executive for final consideration. This step is crucial as it determines the bill's fate in the legislative process.
