Data about the bills discussed within national parliament as well as votings on bills (not to mix with passed national law). Data on bills must be available for the current legislation period. Open data on the law-making process is crucial for parliamentary transparency: What does a bill text say and how does it change over time? Who introduces a bill? Who votes for and against it? Where is a bill discussed next, so the public can participate in debates? This data category draws on work by the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and the Declaration of Parliamentary Openness.

The National Council of Bhutan hosts Bills, available under "Business" on the main menu, https://www.nationalcouncil.bt/en/business/bills. The status is available in HTML, while the content of the draft is available to view and download in PDF. While the author is not necessarily included for all bills, it was included in the content of some therefore I have modified this submission to account for the availability of the data.
