What are 'Bills' and how do they progress through the Scottish Parliament? 🤔

'Bills' are proposed laws that are being examined by the Scottish Parliament. Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) discuss them to decide if they should become law.

The public also usually gets the chance to share its views. 👥

The different types of Bills are:
▪ Government Bills (previously known as Executive Bills)
▪ Members' Bills
▪ Committee Bills
▪ Private Bills
▪ Hybrid Bills

The first action that is required for a Bill to become law is its introduction - the Scottish Government, an MSP or a Committee send the Bill and any related documents to the Parliament.
