Provincial lawmaking body

A state assembly is the lower house of a state legislature in the United States, typically called the State Assembly or House of Representatives depending on the state.

Members represent geographic districts and are responsible for proposing and voting on state laws, approving budgets, and other legislative functions.

Most state assemblies have more members and shorter terms than their corresponding state senates.
