About bills
Before a bill becomes a law, it must go through the legislative process.
Acts and regulations
Each year in Ontario the legislative and executive branches of government pass bills and issue regulations.
Private bills procedures
Private bills are proposed laws that seek special powers or exemptions for a particular person or group. They are sometimes called private legislation.
If a private bill is passed, it would allow a particular person or group to claim an exemption from the general law, or it would allow something that can’t be obtained under general law.
