Introduction
For the first release, the Scottish Parliament website will be continuing to publish PDF renditions of the bill. These will be supplied to the website through existing channels rather than a direct, electronic interface from Lawmaker. As such, ‘publishing’ in this context is merely marking the bill as having been published. You will need to have generated a PDF that you are happy with before you can mark the bill as having been published.A plain text version of a document can be downloaded as a backup or for other purposes.
