Converting a Private Bill into a Local Act

To create an Act version of a Private Bill, follow the same approach as you would for a public Bill, using the Duplicate Version feature on the Project Tab.

See Converting a UK Bill into an Act.

When you convert a Private Bill to a Local Act, the following should happen:

  • XML root element becomes <act name="ukla"> rather than <bill name=”ukprib”>

  • In the Bill title, "Bill" is replaced with the word "Act" 

  • The Act year will appear at the end of the Act title

Front Cover

  • Displays the updated short title (Act Title) and chapter number

  • But not the Explanatory Notes (which is only used for public bills)

Table of Content

  • Appears only if there was a table of contents in the bill version being converted

  • No longer displays the version rubric

  • Displays the chapter number under the updated short title (Act Title)

Preface

  • No longer displays the version rubric

  • Displays the act year and chapter number under the short title (Act Title)

  • Assent date will appear under the long title (right-aligned) 

Back Cover

  • Removed
