This template summarizes information about a piece of legislation or a bill. It is designed to be generic so that it can be used for the bills, statutes and subsidiary legislation (delegated legislation) of any jurisdiction. If you have suggestions as to how the template may be improved, please leave a message on the talk page.

Specific infoboxes for European Union, United Kingdom (national and devolved) and United States (federal only) legislation are at {{Infobox EU legislation}}, {{Infobox UK legislation}} and {{Infobox U.S. legislation}} respectively (although this template also supports the latter two to a limited extent).

Legislation enacted by a legislature (e.g. an Act of Parliament/Congress)

See next section for bills that did not pass or is still being considered by the legislature.

Parameters

This infobox takes a number of parameters, which are all optional:

Parameter	Description
Basic information
short_title	The short title of the legislation or bill, which should preferably be the same as the article title. If the parameter is left blank or omitted, the article name is used.
legislature	The name of the legislature that enacted the legislation. You only need to use this parameter if the legislature of the jurisdiction in question is bicameral, and you wish to state its name rather than just the names of the upper house and lower house, which can be specified using |enacted_by= and |enacted_by2=.
image	An image to represent the person or institution that enacted the legislation, such as a coat of arms, a seal or a photograph of a building. Type the name of the image without the "File:" prefix and do not wikilink it. If you omit this parameter, the template automatically displays an image according to the scheme at {{Infobox legislation/images}}.
imagesize	The width of the image in pixels (px), particularly if it is less than 180 px. Type the number without the "px" suffix ("150", not "150px"). If this parameter is left blank or omitted, the image size defaults to 180 px.
image_upright	Scale factor for the image, particularly to scale tall, narrow images correctly. See Help:Pictures#Upright_images for more information.
imagealt	Alt text for the image. For more information, see "Wikipedia:Alternative text for images".
caption	A caption for the image. Terms in the caption can be wikilinked, if desired.
long_title	The long title of the legislation.
citation	The citation of the legislation. If the legislation is available online, use a citation template where available to generate an external link automatically, or else create a link manually. If the citation uses square brackets, replace them with [ and ] when putting them inside an external link.
territorial_extent	The territorial area(s) to which the legislation extends or applies. If possible, provide a wikilink.
considered_by enacted_by	The name of the person or institution that considered or enacted the legislation. |considered_by= is used for proposed or failed legislation (e.g. bills) in which the institution did not or has not enacted the legislation, and |enacted_by= for successful ones. Wikilink the name to a Wikipedia article about the person or institution, if there is one. In a bicameral jurisdiction, use this parameter to specify the legislative chamber that initiated the legislation.
date_enacted date_passed	The date the legislation was enacted or passed. Select either |date_enacted= or |date_passed= depending on whether the term enacted or passed is customarily used in the jurisdiction. In line with "Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Linking and autoformatting of dates", do not wikilink dates.
considered_by2 enacted_by2 date_enacted2 date_passed2	In a bicameral legislature, use these parameters to specify the name of the legislative chamber that considered the legislation after it was initiated by the other chamber, and the date when the second chamber enacted or passed the legislation.
date_assented royal_assent date_signed	Use one of the following: |date_assented= – to indicate the date when a head of state or their representative gives formal assent to the legislation. |royal_assent= – to indicate the date when a constitutional monarch gives royal assent to legislation. |date_signed= – to indicate the date when a head of state or their representative in jurisdictions which do not use the term "assent" signs a piece of legislation (e.g., the President of Ireland; the governor of one of the US states; a constitutional monarch without royal assent powers such, as the Grand Duke of Luxembourg) Do not use parameter(s) from two or three of the above categories together.
assented_by signed_by	Use one of the following: |assented_by= – to indicate the assenter's identity where |date_assented= or |royal_assent= is used. |signed_by= – to indicate the signer's identity where |date_signed= is used. Do not use parameter(s) from two of the above categories together.
date_vetoed	The date when the legislation was vetoed by the head of state or their representative. This does not apply to a pocket veto.
veto_type	The type of veto applied to the law, if the head of state or their representative has the right to veto the bill in multiple ways. This does not apply to a pocket veto. Use one of the following: Absolute – to indicate a veto which cannot be overridden (e.g., withholding of royal assent by the Monarch of the United Kingdom, or a final veto by the President of Cyprus). Package – to indicate a veto where the entire bill is returned to the legislature for reconsideration. Line-item – to indicate a veto where only a part of the bill is returned to the legislature for reconsideration. Reservation – to indicate a veto where the bill is submitted to the decision of a third party, other than a court or other authority with judicial review powers; typically, this would be the people in a referendum (e.g., a reservation of the bill to the significance of the people by the President of Ireland), though submission to a non-judicial third authority exists as well (e.g. reservation in Canada). Constitutional – to indicate a veto where the bill is referred to the supreme or constitutional court, or other authority with judicial review powers, to determine its constitutionality.
veto_overridden	The date when the veto was overridden: If the veto involves returning the bill to the legislature, this is the date of the legislative vote to override the veto. If the legislative debates are available online, create external links to them. If the veto involves submitting the bill to a referendum, this is the date of the referendum on that bill. Create an internal link to that Referendum's article. If the veto involves submitting the bill to non-judicial third authority, this is the date that third authority overturned the veto. This does not apply to a pocket veto or a constitutional veto.
reference_holding	The decision of the supreme or constitutional court, or other authority with judicial review powers, on a vetoed bill referred to it. Create an internal link to the court ruling's article; if no such article exists but the court's decision is available online, create an external link to it.
date_pocket_vetoed	The date when the legislation was pocket vetoed by the head of state or their representative (i.e. the bill became ineffective because the head of state or representative did not sign/assent or veto it within an allowed time).
date_became_law_by_inaction	The date when the legislation bill became law because the head of state or representative did not sign/assent or veto it within an allowed time.
date_commenced date_effective	The date when the legislation commenced (came into force), or became effective as law. Use the parameter that corresponds to the term customary in the jurisdiction, not both the parameters.
date_of_expiry	Date when the legislation automatically ceases to have effect (usually, but not always, when a sunset provision is included).
date_repealed	Date when the legislation is repealed. Note that legislation may be repealed before or after it had expired, so this parameter is not necessarily identical to |date_of_expiry=.
date_abrogated	Date when the legislation is abrogated without a formal repeal by the legislature, such as being struck down as unconstitutional, disallowed, or abrogated in a popular referendum.
administered_by	The institution administering the legislation. Not necessary for most legislation. Wikilink if possible.
Legislation history
bill	The name of the bill or proposed law when the legislation was still being considered by the institution specified in |enacted_by= or |considered_by=. Wikilink the name to an article about the bill, if there is one. In a bicameral jurisdiction, use this parameter to state the name of the bill that was introduced by the legislative chamber that initiated the legislation.
bill_citation	The citation of the bill. If the bill is available online, create an external link to it. If the citation uses square brackets, replace them with [ and ] when putting them inside an external link.
bill_date	The date when the bill was published.
introduced_by	The name of the legislator who introduced the bill.
committee_responsible	The name of the Committee responsible for the topic of the bill. Use only the name of the committee itself (for example, "Financial Services" instead of "United States House Committee on Financial Services").
preliminary_reading 1st_reading 2nd_reading 3rd_reading	The dates of the preliminary, first, second and third readings of the bill in the legislature. If the legislative debates are available online, create external links to them.
passed	The date when the bill was finally passed by the chamber in jurisdictions that do not use numbered readings (e.g. Continental European legislatures). Do not use this parameter together with the readings parameters.
committee_post1st committee_post2nd	The date(s) when the bill was considered by a legislative committee (other than a committee of the whole) between readings. Use committee_post1st and committee_post2nd as appropriate in the jurisdiction - committee_post1st if it occurs between first and second readings (Israel, US House of Representatives), and committee_post2nd if it occurs between second and third readings (US Senate, UK, Australia), not both the parameters.
committee_whole_label committee_whole	In some jurisdictions, name of the stage between the second and third readings where the bill is examined in detail (usually clause by clause), and the date(s) when it occurred. This is often named the "committee of the whole" (default), or sometimes the "committee stage" (Ireland, New Zealand) or "consideration in detail" (most lower houses of the bicameral parliaments in Australia). Omit if the stage was skipped (e.g. if no amendments were proposed or the chamber voted to skipped).
conf_committee_passed	In some jurisdictions, the date when the institution passed the version of the bill adopted by a conference committee.
preliminary_reading_for 1st_reading_for 2nd_reading_for 3rd_reading_for passed_for conf_committee_passed_for	How many members voted for the bill in a given reading or other vote for passage. Do not use this parameter if the vote is not taken on the bill as a whole (e.g. second readings in Israel).
preliminary_reading_against 1st_reading_against 2nd_reading_against 3rd_reading_against passed_against conf_committee_passed_against	How many members voted against the bill in a given reading or other vote for passage. Do not use this parameter if the vote is not taken on the bill as a whole (e.g. second readings in Israel).
preliminary_reading_abstention 1st_reading_abstention 2nd_reading_abstention 3rd_reading_abstention passed_abstention conf_committee_passed_abstention	How many members voted to abstain (however called in the jurisdiction; e.g. "present", "blank vote") in a given reading or other vote for passage. Do not use this parameter if the vote is not taken on the bill as a whole (e.g. second readings in Israel).
preliminary_reading_absent 1st_reading_absent 2nd_reading_absent 3rd_reading_absent passed_absent conf_committee_passed_absent	How many members were absent from the vote in a given reading or other vote for passage. Do not use this parameter if the vote is not taken on the bill as a whole (e.g. second readings in Israel).
preliminary_reading_presentnotvoting 1st_reading_presentnotvoting 2nd_reading_presentnotvoting 3rd_reading_presentnotvoting passed_presentnotvoting conf_committee_passed_presentnotvoting	How many members were present at the vote in a given reading or other vote for passage, but did not vote. This does not include a vote to abstain (however called in the jurisdiction; e.g. "present", "blank vote"). Do not use this parameter if the vote is not taken on the bill as a whole (e.g. second readings in Israel).
committee_report	The name of a report issued by a legislative committee about the bill that was eventually enacted. If the report is available online, create an external link to it.
bill2 bill_citation2 bill_date2 introduced_by2 committee_responsible preliminary_reading2 preliminary_reading2_for preliminary_reading2_against preliminary_reading2_abstention preliminary_reading2_absent preliminary_reading2_presentnotvoting 1st_reading2 1st_reading2_for 1st_reading2_against 1st_reading2_abstention 1st_reading2_absent 1st_reading2_presentnotvoting committee_post1st2 2nd_reading2 2nd_reading2_for 2nd_reading2_against 2nd_reading2_abstention 2nd_reading2_absent 2nd_reading2_presentnotvoting committee_post2nd2 committee_whole_label2 committee_whole2 3rd_reading2 3rd_reading2_for 3rd_reading2_against 3rd_reading2_abstention 3rd_reading2_absent 1st_reading2_presentnotvoting passed2 passed2_for passed2_against passed2_abstention passed2_absent passed2_presentnotvoting conf_committee_passed2 conf_committee_passed2_for conf_committee_passed2_against conf_committee_passed2_abstention conf_committee_passed2_absent conf_committee_passed2_presentnotvoting committee_report2	In a bicameral legislature, use these parameters to specify information about the bill that was considered in one chamber after it was passed by the other chamber. In a bicameral legislature that employs an asymmetrical process, such as most Continental European legislatures, the passed2, passed2_for, passed2_against, passed2_abstention, passed2_absent, and passed2_presentnotvoting parameters apply to the decision of the second chamber to reject a bill, to pass it in an amended version, or (in the Czech Senate's case) to resolve not to consider the bill; if the second chamber didn't decide on the bill within the alloted time, passed2 should be used to specify the date on which the time-limit ended.
date_conf_committee	In some jurisdictions, the date when a conference committee passed a bill. This parameter should be used together with |conf_committee_passed= and |conf_committee_passed2= – use these parameters to indicate the dates when the upper and lower legislative chambers passed the version of the bill adopted by the conference committee.
second_chamber_action	In a bicameral legislature that employs an asymmetrical process, the action taken by the second chamber on the bill. The possible values are: rejected passed after rejection passed with amendments amendments rejected resolved not to consider passed by inaction If |second_chamber_action= is left empty, or if some value other than the ones above is given to, "Passed" is displayed.
date_conf_committee	In some jurisdictions, the date when a conference committee passed a bill. This parameter should be used together with |conf_committee_passed= and |conf_committee_passed2= – use these parameters to indicate the dates when the upper and lower legislative chambers passed the version of the bill adopted by the conference committee.
white_paper	The name of a white paper relating to the legislation. If the white paper is available online, create an external link to it.
date_amendments_considered	In bicameral legislatures, if amendments were made to the bill by the second chamber, the date(s) when these amendments were considered by the originating chamber. This includes a rejection of the bill in bicameral legislatures that employ an asymmetrical process.
amendments_considered_for	In a bicameral legislature that employs an asymmetrical process, how many members voted for the first chamber's final decision on the amendments or rejection made by the second chamber.
amendments_considered_against	In a bicameral legislature that employs an asymmetrical process, how many members voted against the first chamber's final decision on the amendments or rejection made by the second chamber.
amendments_considered_abstention	In a bicameral legislature that employs an asymmetrical process, how many members voted to abstain (however called in the jurisdiction; e.g. "present", "blank vote") in the first chamber's final decision on the amendments or rejection made by the second chamber.
amendments_considered_absent	In a bicameral legislature that employs an asymmetrical process, how many members were absent from the vote in the first chamber's final decision on the amendments or rejection made by the second chamber.
amendments_considered_presentnotvoting	In a bicameral legislature that employs an asymmetrical process, how many members were present at the vote in the first chamber's final decision on the amendments or rejection made by the second chamber, but did not vote. This does not include a vote to abstain (however called in the jurisdiction; e.g. "present", "blank vote").

Technical information

The |image= parameter in the template contains (with slight modifications) the following function:

{{#invoke:InfoboxImage|InfoboxImage|image={{#if:{{{image|}}}
  |{{{image}}}
  |{{Infobox legislation/images
     |image={{if empty|{{{legislature|}}}|{{{considered_by|}}}|{{{enacted_by|}}}}}
     |date={{{date_enacted|}}} 
    }}
  }}|size={{{imagesize|}}}|sizedefault=frameless|upright={{{upright|{{{image_upright|1}}}}}}|alt={{{imagealt|}}}}}

The function does the following tasks:

• If the parameter |image= is used in the template, that image is displayed.
• If |image= is not used, a check is done to see if the value of |legislature= or |enacted_by= is listed in {{Infobox legislation/images}}. If the result is blank, then no image is displayed. If the result is an image file (the coat of arms or seal, or a photograph of a building representing the person or institution that enacted the legislation), then the image file is displayed. {{Infobox legislation/images}} can be tweaked to display different images depending on the date when the legislation was decided – for help with this, leave a message on the talk page.
• If a value is specified for |imagesize=, the image is given that width; otherwise the image width defaults to "frameless".
• If a value, adds |upright=value to image. Values less than 1 scale the image down (0.9 = 90%); values greater than 1 scale the image up (1.15 = 115%).
• In either case the image is given alt text specified by |imagealt=.

JackLee came up with the first version of this function for {{Infobox court case}}, but thanks are due to Chris Cunningham for coming up with a cleaner solution that works better.
