I would like to request that the template be modified to include dates for instances where a bill has been vetoed and when a bill has had a veto overridden, and the name of the person performing the veto. For example, Marriage Equality Act (Vermont) is about legislation in the U.S. state of Vermont that was passed by the Vermont General Assembly, vetoed by the Governor of Vermont, then that veto was subsequently overridden by the General Assembly, after which the bill enacted into law. This process of veto and veto override exists in all 50 states (in addition to the federal government), but the template currently does not have a way to accurately show instances where that process is used.

The status options do not fully cover the common situation in the United States where controversial laws are challenged in court on constitutional grounds and often temporarily enjoined pending court review and then possibly struck down in whole or in part. The option "not yet in force" doesn't adequately represent the possibilities.-- agr ( talk) 09:42, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
[Relocated from "
User talk:Jacklee".] Hi, I'm trying to use {{
infobox legislation}}
on
Bail Act 2013 and am running into some difficulties, could you please help me? The relevant Bill's Hansard can be accessed
here. In NSW, the term 'assented' is used, but you can see that it's used for both the upper and lower houses. There is only one 'assented' field available in the information box. Could you please add a second 'assented' field? --

The template requires stating that legislation is "enacted by" each part of a bicameral legislature, but this is incorrect in a parliamentary context, and I suspect incorrect in all contexts. To take Canada as an example, legislation is enacted by Parliament (consisting of the King represented by the Governor General, Senate, and House of Commons), or by a provincial legislature (the lieutenant governor and legislative assembly). It is incorrect to describe the House of Commons, Senate, or a provincial legislative assembly as enacting legislation; they pass bills. In the US, legislation is enacted by Congress, not by the House or Senate acting alone.-- Trystan ( talk) 18:23, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
@ Glide08: Thanks for all the work you put into the template to record votes. It's appreciated. Is there any way to have an option for "Passed by" a chamber, rather than "Enacted by"? In Canadian usage, only Parliament enacts a bill; an enactment is a law. A bill passes a chamber, but that doesn't mean it's been enacted. Without that option, we won't be able to use your voting additions, because it won't be correct for Canada. See previous comment by Trystan. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 00:16, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

isn't completed, for unicameral legislatures that consist of a legislative assembly (which considers and passes bills) and another component (typically the Sovereign or representative, which grants royal assent)? E.g., the
New Zealand House of Representatives considers and passes bills, but the
New Zealand Parliament as a whole enacts legislation. It is similar with the unicameral legislatures of Queensland and all Canadian provinces.--

Can we add "Disallowance" and "Reservation" under veto_type, these were pretty frequently used vetoes over British Colonial legislation, as well, the powers also still technically exist in Canada, although they haven't been used in over 50 years.

Israel's controversial judicial reform has been paused for one month. We're currently using "halted" as the status but the English meaning of "halted" does not contain any implication that the process that has been halted is due to resume shortly. One often sees that something has been "halted, pending X" but the Infobox status of halted does not allow one to indicate that the halt is of a strictly limited duration. Wouldn't a status of "paused" be useful for cases such as this? Misha Wolf ( talk) 16:21, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
