# Members' Bills in the Scottish Parliament

A members' bill in the Scottish Parliament is a type of bill that can be introduced by members of the Scottish Parliament. Less parliamentary time is given to such bills and as a result only a minority of members' bills actually become law. Such bills can be used however to create publicity for a cause or issue and can affect legislation indirectly.
