“Money bill”可译为“财税法案”,相关释义如下:
1. 在英国,指按照下议院议长【Speaker】的意见只包含涉及税务、统一基金【Consolidated Fund】、公款、国家筹集或偿还借款,以及附随于这些项目事务的条款的公法案。财税法案只能由下议院提出,且凡由下议院议长批准成为财税法案的议案,只要在该议案经下议院通过的会期结束时递交英王同意后即可成为法令,而无需要求该议案在上议院获得通过。此外,在英国现每年的金融法案【Finance Bill】通常不是1911年《议会法》【Parliament Act】所界定的财政法案,因为它包含有与税务有关事项之外的其他条款;2. 在美国,是指不管出于国家目的向全民收取还是出于某一地区利益向该区居民收取或是为了拨款而旨在征收岁入的法案。所有联邦的财政法案必须由众议院提出,但参议院可以像对待其他法案一样提出或批准财政法案的修正案。)
In the Westminster system (and, colloquially, in the United States), a money bill or supply bill is a bill that solely concerns taxation or government spending (also known as appropriation of money), as opposed to changes in public law. A bill that is certified as a money bill and which has been passed by the Commons will become law after one month, with or without the approval of the House of Lords, under the terms of the Parliament Acts. 以下为相关例句,可供参考:
