petition must be signed by a majority



Answer :

The best answer for the question is: A. discharge When a bill is stuck in committee and needs to be brought to the floor for a vote, a discharge petition can be used. A discharge petition is a means by which a bill can be brought out of committee and onto the floor for consideration by the full legislative body. It requires a majority of representatives to sign the petition, indicating their support for bypassing the committee and moving the bill forward for debate and voting. By using a discharge petition, members of the legislative body can circumvent the usual committee process if they believe the bill is being unfairly held up or ignored in committee.
