Bills unenacted

Here the Encyclopedy address the notability of Bills that are introduced, but not yet enacted. The vast majority of such bills die without becoming law. They’re usually newsworthy but they may be not particularly notable.

But some proposed legislation may be notable regardless of whether it becomes law. For example:

• As constitutional amendments, the Bricker Amendment (a collective name of a series of proposed amendments to the United States Constitution considered by the Senate in the 1950s. These amendments would have placed restrictions on the scope and ratification of Treaties and executive agreements entered into by the United States and are named for their sponsor, Senator John W. Bricker)
• Equal Rights Amendment (a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution designed to guarantee equal rights for women)
• Tthe Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937 (a legislative initiative proposed by U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt to add more justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. to favour New Deal legislation)

They were notable though they never passed.

This entry references proposed legislation that never passed. There is a bill in the United States Congress with the same title and purpose.

Probably, only a handful of such legislation is proposed in a century in each country ; most proposed statutes are not notable until enacted.

Legislation proposed in the United States Congress, but not (or not yet) adopted. This list may not reflect recent changes.
