1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $(2b+3)-4(b-1)$.
2. **Apply the distributive property:** Multiply $-4$ by each term inside the parentheses:
$$ (2b+3) - 4(b-1) = 2b + 3 - 4b + 4 $$
3. **Combine like terms:** Group the terms with $b$ and the constant terms:
$$ 2b - 4b + 3 + 4 $$
4. **Simplify the expression:**
$$ (2b - 4b) + (3 + 4) = -2b + 7 $$
5. **Final answer:** The simplified expression is
$$ \boxed{-2b + 7} $$
