There are three types of statues that exist in the UNAC as follows. Only the Commission of the UNAC can propose ordinary acts.

This can help the Auroran Parliament shape the content of legislation.

===Ordinary acts===
Ordinary acts refer to statutes that control day to day running of transnational issues. This can include intracontinental trade and movement, multilateral scientific cooperation, multilateral food and drug standards, data privacy, environmental protection, fishing and related legislation. As part of the UNAC Charter, all island member states have certain opt-outs from ordinary acts, i.e. some laws do not apply or the government of that island country can choose which parts to obey. This exemption covers issues such as but not limited to food imports, immigration, and marine and land ecology. These acts require a simple majority in the Auroran Parliament and the Council of the UNAC to pass. Most of the time these acts are either projects that require transnational cooperation or standards and guidelines. They rarely make requirements that affect how member states run their domestic affairs.
