special act

Read a random definition: dual-priorities rule

A quick definition of special act:

Special act is a type of law that only applies to a specific situation, person, place, or thing, instead of affecting everyone. It is different from general laws that apply to everyone in a certain area. Laws are rules that people have to follow, and they are made by the government or other authorities. Some laws are written down, while others are not.

A more thorough explanation:

A special act is a type of law that pertains to and affects a particular case, person, place, or thing, as opposed to the general public. It is also known as a special law.

For example, if a city council passes a law that only applies to a specific neighborhood, that would be considered a special act. Another example would be a law that grants a specific individual a particular privilege or exemption.

These examples illustrate how a special act is different from a general law, which applies to everyone within a jurisdiction. Special acts are more specific and targeted in their application.
