List of legislation named for a person
This is a list of legislation with popular names (of people), often the member of Parliament/Congress responsible for it or a law named for a person of notoriety that prompted enactment of the legislation.[1][2] Some of these Acts acquired their names because short titles were not used, and some now have different short titles. Popular names are generally informal (such as Megan's law) but may reflect the official short title of the legislation.
