Overview
Bills become law when they have received Royal Assent. To learn more about the process, see how the Alberta government works.
If an act or portion of an act comes into force on proclamation, the Lieutenant Governor makes an order to proclaim, which is posted in Orders in Council. After proclamations are signed as an Order in Council, they are published in Part 1 of The Alberta Gazette.
