A.7(a). Legislative Procedure

Any Member of the House can introduce a bill. Once a bill is introduced, the full text must be made public right away.

No bill can be voted on until it has been public for at least seven days, unless the Speaker and Vice-Speaker both agree there is a real emergency.

All final votes must be recorded and shared with the public, along with a brief summary of the bill's provisions.

The House can set its own rules for debate and changes to bills, but no rule can block Members from seeing or suggesting changes to the full text.
