Shortly after Parliament reconvened for its fourth and final 2026 term, two Bills were withdrawn: the National State-Owned Enterprises Bill (with no official explanation) and the DA’s Public Procurement Amendment Bill (following a Constitutional Court ruling declaring the Act invalid on the grounds of inadequate public participation in the parliamentary process). Four new Bills were tabled during September 2026.
Against that backdrop, the spreadsheet to which a link is provided below reflects the status of all Bills before Parliament at the end of September 2026. The most recent developments are emboldened in red.
Please note that Bills listed in the spreadsheet can be accessed by clicking their titles.
However, you are advised to download the spreadsheet before viewing it so that all data is visible.
There are now 52 Bills before Parliament.
