Line 15:
There are three types of statutes that exist in the UNAC as follows. Any member of the Commission or the Council can propose acts. However the Auroran Parliament has committees which scrutinize legislative proposals and recommend amendments to the UNAC Commission or Council prior to the passage of an act. This can help the Auroran Parliament shape the content of legislation.
===Ordinary acts===
Ordinary acts refer to acts that are not in their own specially designated class. Like other types of acts only members of the Council and the Commission may propose them. The Parliament can debate these acts and suggest amendments before the final version is passed.
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 but the Council can overrule the Parliament by passing the act with a 66% majority. 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.
 
The Charter designates a set of actions that require the passage of an act. However there are some actions that require the approval of a majority of the Auroran Parliament and the Council and there are actions which require only the approval of the Council.
