legislation
Legislation (or "statutory law") is law which has been promulgated (or "enacted") by a legislature or other governing body or the process of making it. Before an item of legislation becomes law it may be known as a bill, and may be broadly referred to as "legislation", while it remains under consideration to distinguish it from other business. Legislation can have many purposes: to regulate, to authorize, to outlaw, to provide (funds), to sanction, to grant, to declare or to restrict. It may be contrasted with a non-legislative act which is adopted by an executive or administrative body under the authority of a legislative act or for implementing a legislative act.
Under the Westminster system, an item of primary legislation is known as an Act of Parliament after enactment.
Legislation is usually proposed by a member of the legislature (e.g. a member of Congress or Parliament), or by the executive, whereupon it is debated by members of the legislature and is often amended before passage. Most large legislatures enact only a small fraction of the bills proposed in a given session. Whether a given bill will be proposed and is generally a matter of the legislative priorities of government.
Legislation is regarded as one of the three main functions of government, which are often distinguished under the doctrine of the separation of powers. Those who have the formal power to create legislation are known as legislators; a judicial branch of government will have the formal power to interpret legislation (see statutory interpretation); the executive branch of government can act only within the powers and limits set by the law.
Other than NWFA I don't participate in social media. I always figured that TPTB would start finding ways to turn it against you anyway. No big surprise that NY is the first to dip their toe into that water. Just wait until they start integrating AI (SAI) into everything. Or I should say just...
One of the reasons we as responsible gun owners are losing the battle is that we have either been passive or reactive. If we want to preserve our civil right to keep and bear arms we need to take the initiative. Who ever won a fight by letting the other side throw every punch? Nobody, that's...
Mayor Durkan proposes new Seattle gun control legislation
Mayor Durkan proposes new Seattle gun control legislation
These articles are becoming more like 1984 everyday. No mention of how this will be illegal because of preemption.
No one I know has mentioned this expense. Fla legislators were responding to local voter frenzy and now there's a positively HUGE cost brewing for LEOs to patrol as deemed 'common sense' response.
Can you say $400 MILLION? EACH year? Additional to the school budgets?
The Real Costs Of...
