Making laws is one of the primary functions of the Legislative Assembly, and the legislative process is a substantial focus of each sitting day. A bill must pass through several stages before becoming law. Except in urgent or exceptional cases, each stage occurs on a different day to allow detailed examination of each bill.

It also outlines the status of all legislation introduced in the session.
