Legislation意思

"Legislation" 是一個英文辭彙，它的意思是法律、法規或法案的制定過程，或者是已經通過並成為法律的法案本身。在政治和法律領域，立法通常是指由立法機構（如議會、國會或州議會）提出的法案，經過審議、辯論、修改和投票後，最終成為具有法律效力的檔案。

Legislation can refer to:

The process of making laws, which typically involves several steps such as:

• Introduction of a bill by a member of the legislative body.
• Committee hearings and markups to review and potentially amend the bill.
• Debate and voting on the bill by the full legislative body.
• Possible approval by the executive branch (e.g., the president in the United States), or further review in a bicameral system (where the bill must pass both the lower and upper houses).
• Enactment into law, which gives the legislation legal force and makes it binding on the public.

The collection of laws and regulations that have been enacted by a legislative body.

The specific laws or acts that have been passed, such as the Clean Air Act, the Affordable Care Act, or local ordinances.

In the context of international law, legislation can also refer to treaties and agreements between countries that have the force of law when ratified.

When discussing legislation, it's important to consider the specific jurisdiction and the political system in which the legislation is being proposed or enacted, as the process can vary significantly between countries and even between different levels of government within a single country.
