Statutes and Acts groups individual pieces of legislation enacted by a legislative body, such as a named act of parliament or congress, a bill signed into law, or a standalone statute, spanning landmark legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Sherman Antitrust Act, or the United Kingdom's Human Rights Act 1998. Belongs here: a specific named statute or act, the legislature and jurisdiction that enacted it, its date and content, and its legal effect or historical significance. Does not belong here: a larger compiled body of codified law such as a civil or penal code, filed under Codes; a rule issued by an administrative agency rather than a legislature, filed under Regulations; a judicial ruling that interprets or applies a statute, filed under Landmark Cases; and an abstract legal principle or theory, filed under Doctrines.
