These bills have been laid before Parliament, but have not begun the Bill Process. A Short Title and Long Title (summary) of the Bill will have been provided, though a full text of the Bill may not have been tabled.

Often only Ballot Bills (which have priority for Second Reading) will have the opportunity to progress.
