In other words, a bill is a proposed law that needs to be discussed in the parliament before it can become a law. </p><p>In territories with a <a href="/wiki/Westminster_system" title="Westminster system">Westminster system</a>, most bills that have any possibility of becoming law are introduced into parliament by the government. This will usually happen following the publication of a "<a href="/wiki/White_paper" title="White paper">white paper</a>", setting out the issues and the way in which the proposed new law is intended to deal with them. A bill may also be introduced into parliament without formal government backing; this is known as a <a href="/wiki/Private_member%27s_bill" title="Private member's bill">private member's bill</a>. </p><p>In territories with a <a href="/wiki/Multicameralism" title="Multicameralism">multicameral</a> parliament, most bills may be first introduced in any chamber. However, certain types of legislation are required, either by <a href="/wiki/Constitutional_convention_(political_custom)" class="mw-redirect" title="Constitutional convention (political custom)">constitutional convention</a> or by law, to be introduced into a specific chamber. For example, bills imposing a <a href="/wiki/Tax" title="Tax">tax</a>, or involving <a href="/wiki/Public_finance" title="Public finance">public expenditure</a>, are introduced into the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Commons_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="House of Commons of the United Kingdom">House of Commons</a> in the United Kingdom, Canada's <a href="/wiki/House_of_Commons_of_Canada" title="House of Commons of Canada">House of Commons</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lok_Sabha" title="Lok Sabha">Lok Sabha</a> of India and Ireland's <a href="/wiki/D%C3%A1il_%C3%89ireann" title="Dáil Éireann">Dáil</a> as a matter of law. Conversely, bills proposed by the <a href="/wiki/Law_Commission_of_the_United_Kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="Law Commission of the United Kingdom">Law Commission</a> and <a href="/wiki/Consolidation_bill" title="Consolidation bill">consolidation bills</a> traditionally start in the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Lords" title="House of Lords">House of Lords</a>. </p><p>Once introduced, a bill must go through a number of stages before it can become law. In theory, this allows the bill's provisions to be debated in detail, and for amendments to the original bill to also be introduced, debated, and agreed to. </p><p>In bicameral parliaments, a bill that has been approved by the chamber into which it was introduced then sends the bill to the other chamber. Broadly speaking, each chamber must separately agree to the same version of the bill. Finally, the approved bill receives assent; in most territories this is merely a formality and is often a function exercised by the <a href="/wiki/Head_of_state" title="Head of state">head of state</a>. </p><p>In some countries, such as in France, Belgium, <a href="/wiki/Luxembourg" title="Luxembourg">Luxembourg</a>, Spain and Portugal, the term for a bill differs depending on whether it is initiated by the <a href="/wiki/Government" title="Government">government</a> (when it is known as a "draft"), or by the parliament (a "proposition", i.e., a private member's bill). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Procedure">Procedure</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Act_of_parliament&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Procedure"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Australia">Australia</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Act_of_parliament&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Australia"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In Australia, the bill passes through the following stages: </p> <ol><li>First reading: This stage is a mere formality; it involves the reading of the title of the proposed bill and distribution of the bill to members of parliament.</li> <li>Second reading: As in the UK, the stage involves a debate on the general principles of the bill and is followed by a vote. Again, the second reading of a <a href="/wiki/Government_bill_(law)" title="Government bill (law)">government bill</a> is usually approved. A defeat for a government bill on this reading signifies a major loss. If the bill is read a second time, it is then considered in detail</li> <li>Consideration in detail: This usually takes place on the floor of the House. Generally, committees sit on the floor of the House and consider the bill in detail.</li> <li>Third reading: A debate on the final text of the bill, as amended. Very rarely do debates occur during this stage.</li> <li>Passage: The bill is then sent to the other House (to the Senate, if it originated in the House of Representatives; to the House of Representatives, if it is a Senate bill), which may amend it. If the other House amends the bill, the bill and amendments are posted back to the original House for a further stage. The State of <a href="/wiki/Queensland" title="Queensland">Queensland</a>'s Parliament is unicameral and skips this and the rest of the stages.</li> <li>Consideration of Senate/Representatives amendments: The House in which the bill originated considers the amendments made in the other House. It may agree to them, amend them, propose other amendments in lieu, or reject them. However, the Senate may not amend money bills, though it can "request" the House to make amendments. A bill may pass backward and forward several times at this stage, as each House amends or rejects changes proposed by the other. If each House insists on disagreeing with the other, the Bill is lost.</li> <li>Disagreement between the Houses: Often, when a bill cannot be passed in the same form by both Houses, it is "laid aside", i.e. abandoned. There is also a special constitutional procedure allowing the passage of the bill without the separate agreement of both houses. If the House twice passes the same bill, and the Senate twice fails to pass that bill (either through rejection or through the passage of unacceptable amendments), then the Governor-General may dissolve both Houses of Parliament simultaneously and call an election for the entire Parliament. This is called a <a href="/wiki/Australian_electoral_system#Double_dissolutions" class="mw-redirect" title="Australian electoral system">double dissolution</a>. After the election, if the House again passes the bill, but the deadlock between the Houses persists, then the Governor-General may convene a joint sitting of both Houses, where a final decision will be taken on the bill. Although the House and the Senate sit as a single body, bills passed at a joint sitting are treated as if they had been passed by each chamber separately. The procedure only applies if the bill originated in the House of Representatives. Six double dissolutions have occurred, though a joint sitting was only held once, in <a href="/wiki/Joint_Sitting_of_the_Australian_Parliament_of_1974" title="Joint Sitting of the Australian Parliament of 1974">1974</a>.</li> <li>The bill is sent to the viceroy (the Governor-General for the Commonwealth; the Governor for a State; the Administrator for a Territory) for the royal assent.

Significant amendments may be made at the committee stage. In some cases, whole groups of clauses are inserted or removed. However, if the Government holds a majority, almost all the amendments which are agreed to in committee will have been tabled by the Government to correct deficiencies in the bill or to enact changes to policy made since the bill was introduced (or, in some cases, to import material which was not ready when the bill was presented). </p> <ol><li><a href="/wiki/Report_stage" class="mw-redirect" title="Report stage">Report stage</a>: this takes place on the floor of the appropriate chamber, and allows the House or Senate to approve amendments made in committee, or to propose new ones.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Third_reading" class="mw-redirect" title="Third reading">Third reading</a>: A debate on the final text of the bill, as amended.</li> <li>Passage: The bill is then sent to the other House (to the Senate, if it originated in the House of Commons; to the Commons, if it is a Senate bill), where it will face a virtually identical process.

For the second reading, the motion is "That this bill be now read a second time and be referred to [name of committee]" and for third reading "That this bill be now read a third time and pass." In the Committee stage, each clause is called and motions for amendments to these clauses, or that the clause stand part of the bill are made.

Private acts are local and personal in their effect, giving special powers to bodies such as local authorities or making exceptions to the law in particular geographic areas.<sup id="cite_ref-rogers2006_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-rogers2006-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the United Kingdom Parliament, each bill passes through the following stages: </p> <ol><li>Pre-legislative scrutiny: Not undertaken for all bills; usually a joint committee of both houses will review a bill and vote on amendments that the government can either accept or reject. The report from this stage can be influential in later stages as rejected recommendations from the committee are revived to be voted on.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/First_reading" class="mw-redirect" title="First reading">First reading</a>: This is a formality; no vote occurs. The bill is presented and ordered to be printed and, in the case of private members' bills, a date is set for second reading.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Second_reading" class="mw-redirect" title="Second reading">Second reading</a>: A debate on the general principles of the bill is followed by a vote.</li> <li>Committee stage: This usually takes place in a public bill committee<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> in the Commons and on the floor of the House in the Lords. The committee considers each clause of the bill, and may make amendments to it.</li> <li>Consideration (or report) stage: This takes place on the floor of the House, and is a further opportunity to amend the bill. Unlike committee stage, the House need not consider every clause of the bill, only those to which amendments have been tabled.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Third_reading" class="mw-redirect" title="Third reading">Third reading</a>: A debate on the final text of the bill, as amended in the House of Lords. Further amendments may be tabled at this stage.</li> <li>Passage: The bill is then sent to the other House (to the Lords, if it originated in the Commons; to the Commons, if it is a Lords bill), which may amend it.</li> <li>Consideration of Lords/Commons amendments: The House in which the bill originated considers the amendments made in the other House. This may continue for <a href="/wiki/Parliamentary_ping-pong" title="Parliamentary ping-pong">several rounds</a>.</li> <li>Royal assent: the bill is passed with any amendments and becomes an act of Parliament.</li></ol> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Senedd_(Welsh_Parliament)"><span id="Senedd_.28Welsh_Parliament.29"></span>Senedd (Welsh Parliament)</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Act_of_parliament&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Senedd (Welsh Parliament)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Act_of_Senedd_Cymru" title="Act of Senedd Cymru">Act of Senedd Cymru</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Northern_Ireland_Assembly">Northern Ireland Assembly</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Act_of_parliament&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Northern Ireland Assembly"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Act_of_the_Northern_Ireland_Assembly" title="Act of the Northern Ireland Assembly">Act of the Northern Ireland Assembly</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Scottish_Parliament">Scottish Parliament</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Act_of_parliament&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Scottish Parliament"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Act_of_the_Scottish_Parliament" title="Act of the Scottish Parliament">Act of the Scottish Parliament</a></div> <p>In the Scottish Parliament,<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> bills pass through the following stages: </p> <ol><li>Introduction: The bill is introduced to the parliament together with its accompanying documents – explanatory notes, a policy memorandum setting out the policy underlying the bill, and a financial memorandum setting out the costs and savings associated with it. Statements from the presiding officer and the member in charge of the bill are also lodged, indicating whether the bill is within the legislative competence of the parliament.</li> <li>Stage one: The bill is considered by one or more of the subject committees of the parliament, which normally take evidence from the bill's promoter and other interested parties before reporting to the parliament on the principles of the bill. Other committees, notably the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Finance_and_Subordinate_Legislation_Committees&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Finance and Subordinate Legislation Committees (page does not exist)">Finance and Subordinate Legislation Committees</a>, may also feed in at this stage. The report from the committee is followed by a debate in the full parliament.</li> <li>Stage two: The bill returns to the subject committee where it is subject to line-by-line scrutiny and amendment. This is similar to the <a href="/wiki/Committee_stage" class="mw-redirect" title="Committee stage">committee stage</a> in the UK Parliament.</li> <li>Stage three: The bill as amended by the committee returns to the full parliament. There is a further opportunity for amendment, followed by a debate on the whole bill, at the end of which the parliament decides whether to pass the bill.</li> <li>Royal assent: After the bill has been passed, the presiding officer submits it to the monarch for royal assent. However, he cannot do so until a four-week period has elapsed during which the law officers of the Scottish government or the UK government can refer the bill to the <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Supreme Court of the United Kingdom">Supreme Court of the United Kingdom</a> for a ruling on whether it is within the powers of the parliament.</li></ol> <p>There are special procedures for emergency bills, member's bills (similar to private member's bills in the UK Parliament), committee bills, and private bills. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Singapore">Singapore</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Act_of_parliament&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Singapore"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In Singapore, the bill passes through these certain stages before becoming into an Act of Parliament. </p> <ol><li>First reading: The bill is introduced to the government, usually by the members of parliament. The unicameral parliament will then discuss the bill, followed by a vote. Voting must be at least half ayes for non-controversial bills and two-thirds ayes for controversial ones. If the bill passes the vote it will proceed to the second reading.</li> <li>Second reading: In this stage, the bill is further discussed and put to a second vote. If more than half of the votes are ayes the bill proceeds to the select committee.</li> <li>Select committee: The select committee consists of people not only from the parliaments, but also the people who could be affected by the bill is passed into law. This is to ensure equality and that the bill is fair for all. If the bill is in favour, it will proceed to the third reading.</li> <li>Third reading: After the select committee has discussed and are in favour of the bill, they will put it to a vote. At this juncture, if the votes are more than half ayes, it will be sent to the <a href="/wiki/President_of_Singapore" title="President of Singapore">President of Singapore</a>. This is known as President Assent.</li> <li>President Assent: The president must give permission in order for the bill to be passed.

Descriptive titles began to be added to the enrolled acts by the official clerks, as a reference aid; over time, titles came to be included within the text of each bill. Since the mid-nineteenth century, it has also become common practice for acts to have a <a href="/wiki/Short_title" class="mw-redirect" title="Short title">short title</a>, as a convenient alternative to the sometimes lengthy main titles. The <a href="/wiki/Short_Titles_Act_1892" title="Short Titles Act 1892">Short Titles Act 1892</a>, and its replacement the <a href="/wiki/Short_Titles_Act_1896" title="Short Titles Act 1896">Short Titles Act 1896</a>, gave short titles to many acts which previously lacked them. </p><p>The numerical citation of acts has also changed over time. The original method was based on the regnal year (or years) in which the relevant parliamentary session met. This has been replaced in most territories by simple reference to the calendar year, with the first act passed being chapter 1, and so on. </p><p>In the United Kingdom, legislation has referenced by year and chapter number since 1963 (<a href="/wiki/Acts_of_Parliament_Numbering_and_Citation_Act_1962" title="Acts of Parliament Numbering and Citation Act 1962">Acts of Parliament Numbering and Citation Act 1962</a>). Each act is numbered consecutively based on the date it received royal assent, for example the 43rd act passed in 1980 would be 1980 chapter 43. The full reference includes the (short) title and would be the Magistrate's Court Act 1980 (c. 43). </p><p>Until the 1980s, acts of the <a href="/wiki/Australia" title="Australia">Australian</a> state of <a href="/wiki/Victoria_(state)" title="Victoria (state)">Victoria</a> were numbered in a continuous sequence from 1857; thus the <a
