    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.[1] 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 proscribe, 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.[2]
    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.[3]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.
