This template summarizes information about a piece of legislation or a bill. It is designed to be generic so that it can be used for the bills, statutes and subsidiary legislation (delegated legislation) of any jurisdiction. If you have suggestions as to how the template may be improved, please leave a message on the talk page.

Specific infoboxes for European Union, United Kingdom (national and devolved) and United States (federal only) legislation are at {{Infobox EU legislation}}, {{Infobox UK legislation}} and {{Infobox U.S. legislation}} respectively (although this template also supports the latter two to a limited extent).

See next section for bills that did not pass or is still being considered by the legislature.
