"How a Bill Becomes a Law" is the third episode of the fifth season of the American comedy television series Parks and Recreation, and the 71st overall episode of the series. It originally aired on NBC in the United States on October 4, 2012.
In the episode, Leslie (Amy Poehler) scrambles to pass a bill that she proposed, while Ron (Nick Offerman) meets a potential love interest named Diane (Lucy Lawless). In Washington, D.C., Ben (Adam Scott) and April (Aubrey Plaza) decide to make an impromptu road trip to Pawnee.
Leslie (Amy Poehler) is given a large city council office. It comes with her own private bathroom, which Councilman Jeremy Jamm (Jon Glaser) (who thinks the bathroom shouldn't be private) dislikes. Public opinion of the city council is low due to their inability to pass many laws, but Leslie tells local talk show "Pawnee Today" that an act to extend pool hours for a children's swim club is due to easily pass.
Inspired by his therapist's helpfulness, Chris (Rob Lowe) starts a prototype 3-1-1 service and asks the parks department to answer calls. A woman named Diane (Lucy Lawless) repeatedly calls Ron's (Nick Offerman) line about a pothole in front of her house; Ron decides to fill the pothole himself with Andy (Chris Pratt).
