| | Legislation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Before an item of legislation becomes law it may be known as a bill, which is typically also known as "legislation" while it remains under active consideration. | | | In some jurisdictions, legislation must be confirmed by the executive branch of government before it enters into force as law. | | | The extent to which the courts may be seen to "legislate" in this manner informs the ongoing contemporary debate concerning judicial activism (which may be contrasted with judicial restraint). |

| | Legislation - Wex |
| | The general procedure of enactment of legislation is governed by the relevant constitution. | | | Legislation refers to the preparation and enactment of laws by a legislative body through its lawmaking process. | | | Ideas for legislation can come from legislators who have experience in a particular field, or legislators can copy legislation because an idea that works well in one jurisdiction can be useful to its neighbors. |

| | ALA Distance Education and the TEACH Act |
| | On November 2nd, 2002, the "Technology, Education and Copyright Harmonization Act" (the TEACH Act), part of the larger Justice Reauthorization legislation (H.R. 2215), was signed into law by President Bush. | | | Long anticipated by educators and librarians, TEACH redefines the terms and conditions on which accredited, nonprofit educational institutions throughout the U.S. may use copyright protected materials in distance education-including on websites and by other digital means--without permission from the copyright owner and without payment of royalties. | | | Both the meaning of fair use and the details of the specific statute (Section 110(2)) become much more rigorous when the materials are uploaded to websites, transmitted anywhere in the world, and are easily downloaded, altered, or further transmitted by students and other users-all posing possible threats to the interests of copyright owners. |
