Enactment

Enactment is the formal process of passing laws through a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress. Once a proposed law (bill) is approved by the necessary votes, it is officially adopted and given legal effect, becoming an act or statute. In essence, enactment marks the transition from a bill under discussion to a formal law that governs society. It is a key step in the legislative process, ensuring that laws are officially recognized and enforceable.
