== Corporate Parliament == The Constitution established the Corporate Parliament comprising the Enactor and each House of the Parliament (including the House of Ordinaries) of which there is not a vacancy in the whole (see section 1). The current number of members of the House of Ordinaries is 3. Before a proposed law (in this Constitution referred to as a Bill) becomes a Act of Parliament it must be passed by each House of the Parliament of which there is not a vacancy in the whole. Usually this requires a majority of the members of each House present at the sitting voting in favour, however in a few circumstances where for a Bill for an Act to be enacted by special resolution is required (such as amendments to this Constitution or selective reductions of membership) an absolute majority of the members of each House are required for a Bill to pass. The Bill is then presented to the Manager‑General who assents to it in the Enactor’s name. A Bill becomes an Act of Parliament when it receives this assent. Nearly all Bills which subsequently become Acts of Parliament are proposed by the Government – that is, the parliamentary party or coalition of parties which holds a majority of seats in the House of Ordinaries. Subject to the few exceptions referred to in section 53 in relation to the initiation and amendment, each House has equal power with the House of Ordinaries in respect of all Bills. Disputes may arise between the Houses as to whether a Bill should be passed in its proposed form. These disputes are nearly always resolved by the Houses. Section 57 prescribes the procedure for resolving any irreconcilable disagreement between the Houses in respect of most proposed laws appropriating revenue or imposing a membership fee. That procedure essentially involves the presenting of the Bill to Manager‑General for Enactorial Assent if the Bill was passed by the House of Ordinaries but had failed to pass another House.
