Nova:Act of the Legislature (Cascadia)

An Act of the Legislature is a statute enacted by the Legislature of Cascadia. Acts may apply only to individual entities (called private laws), or to the general public (public laws). For a bill to become an act, the text must pass through the unicameral body (the House of Representatives) with a majority, then be either signed into law by the president of Cascadia, be left unsigned for five days while the Legislature remains in session, or, if vetoed by the president, receive a legislative override from 2⁄3 of the House.

Public law, private law, designation

In the Republic of Cascadia, Acts of the Legislature are designated as either public laws, relating to the general public, or private laws, relating to specific institutions or individuals. Since January 20, 2023, all Acts of the Legislature have been designated as "Public Law X–Y" or "Private Law X–Y", where X is the number of the Legislature and Y refers to the sequential order of the bill (when it was enacted). For example, P. L. 5–5 (Monthly Budget Act) was the fifth enacted public law of the 5th Legislature of Cascadia. Public laws are also often abbreviated as Pub. L. No. X–Y.
