Draft Legislation

Draft legislation refers to a proposed legal document that outlines new laws or amendments to existing laws. It is typically prepared by lawmakers, legal experts, or government officials and serves as a preliminary version of legislation before it is formally introduced to a legislative body for consideration, debate, and approval. Draft legislation includes the proposed text of the law, explanations of its purpose, and the intended effects of its implementation. The drafting process allows for revisions and feedback, ensuring that the final version reflects legal standards and addresses the goals of the policymakers. Once approved, the draft legislation can be enacted into law, becoming part of the legal framework governing a jurisdiction.
