Private and Hybrid Bills that are expected to be introduced in the near future
A Private Bill is introduced by a promoter, who may be a person, a company or a group of people, for the purpose of obtaining particular powers or benefits that are in addition to, or in conflict with, the general law. Individuals or bodies whose private interests would be adversely affected by the Bill have a right to object to it. You can find out more from the Private Bills page.
A Hybrid Bill is a public Bill, introduced by Scottish Ministers, which adversely affects the private interests of individuals or bodies in a manner different to the private interests of others in the same category or class. Such individuals or bodies have a right to object to the Bill. You can find out more from the Hybrid Bills page
Before a Private or a Hybrid Bill can be introduced, the promoter or Scottish Government (as the case may be) must arrange for advertisements to be taken out in newspapers announcing the intention to introduce the Bill. A copy of these advertisements is also posted on this page, together with any other relevant information.
When a Private or Hybrid Bill is introduced, a new page will be created for it, which will be accessible from the main Bills page. At that point, the information about it on this page will be removed.
There are currently no proposed Private or Hybrid Bills
