Law new is a term used to describe the recent or fresh origin of something in the legal context. It is most commonly used to describe a newly enacted law or statute, but it can also be applied to new decisions and other things of this nature.

A law that has been passed by Congress or another legislative body is called a law, a legislation or a statute. A law is an official rule or regulation that governs behavior within a country or society. It may be a law relating to property, taxes, crimes, or other issues. Generally, laws are written in the form of bills. These bills are debated and, if approved by the committee, are then sent to Congress for consideration as a law. Eventually, a bill will become law after it is enacted and signed by the president.

When the House of Representatives selects a bill for consideration, the committee staff prepares a committee report on the bill. The report describes the purpose and scope of the bill and explains the reasons for the recommendation to approve it. The report usually contains a section-by-section analysis of the bill that sets forth precisely what each section is intended to accomplish. The text of any laws being repealed must be set out in the report and any executive communications regarding the bill must be included in the report as well.
