Bills

There are two types of Bills, namely, administration or money Bills.

These are introduced in Parliament under sections 75 and 77 of the Constitution, respectively.

They are tabled by the Minister of Finance in the National Assembly and, after approval by the Standing Committee on Finance (National Assembly) and the Select Committee on Finance (National Council of Provinces), they are sent to the President for assent before they are promulgated as Acts of Parliament.

Bills that have gone through the whole legislative process are removed from this page and the final Act can be found under Primary Legislation - Acts Administered by the Commissioner or under Amendment Acts.
