What Is The Difference Between A Bill, A Law And An Act? by ProsperChild: 5:34pm On Jul 08, 2019 |
What is the difference between a bill, a law and an act? In most countries around the world:— A law is the generic term for any legal rule or regulation enforced by the government to regulate behaviour or activities in that society. The term can additionally mean a system of rules that are created and enforced by the government for the same purpose. A Bill is proposed law — drafted by the government or by the lawmakers, to be debated and voted upon in the legislature, and if passed by that legislature, to be enacted into force by a certain constitutional procedure. An Act is enacted legislation — the written law (the statute). The term ‘Act’ most usually means primary legislation — the principal statute enacted according to the lawmaking procedure by the legislature. Very often the Act will have secondary or delegated legislation (usually called “regulations” or “rules”) 1 Like |
