Adding promoter/sponsor details to the back cover
...
Additional promoters/sponsors can be added by placing your cursor within an existing promoter’s details, clicking Enter and selecting “Promoter”. That will insert the same placeholders as exist on the default placeholder, i.e. name, address line 1, address line 2 and role.
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:
In the Bill title, "Bill" is replaced with the word "Act".
The Act year will appear at the end of the Act title.
The front cover will show the updated short title and the chapter number will show underneath.
The Explanatory Note will be removed.
The version rubric will no longer be displayed.
The version rubric will no longer be displayed on the cover or preface.
The preface displays the act year and chapter number under the short title (Act Title).
Assent date will appear under the long title (right-aligned) in the preface.
The back cover will be removed.
The XML root element becomes <act name="ukla"> rather than <bill name=”ukprib”>.
Generating PDFs of private Bills and Local Acts
