6. Which Type Of Statute Prohibits An Activity That Used To Be Permitted Or Permits An Activity That Used To Be Prohibited?
Passive legislation either prohibits an activity that was formerly permitted or permits an activity that was formerly prohibited. Active legislation gives government the right to carry on various programs, which in turn gives rise to the need for subordinate legislation created by administrative agencies to exercise their regulatory powers. A bill is a proposed law that has not yet received Royal Assent.
