Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill seeks to amend the Local Government Act 2002 to permanently allow local authority members to participate in local authority meetings remotely and be counted towards quorum for those meetings.
