	Private bill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A private bill is the term used for legislation that originates from a particular member of a legislature or parliament or from a member of the public.
		Private bills developed in the United Kingdom as a means of obtaining redress from a specific wrong or obtaining a benefit that was not otherwise available through statute or the common law.
		Now federal agencies are able to deal with most of the issues that were previously dealt with under private bills as these agencies have been granted sufficient discretion by Congress to deal with exceptions to the general legislative scheme of various laws.

		Hybrid Bills are used for projects of such national importance that it is appropriate for the Government to take the lead in strategic development.
		As a word of caution, however, the last Crossrail Bill fell precisely because there was a lack of clarity as to the reason for the Bill in the first place—because it was a private Member's Bill, the House never decided on the question of principle—and it eventually collapsed under the sheer weight of objections.

	BusinessNevada: 'Hybrid' Bill Weaker Than Appearances
		The so-called ‘hybrid’ property tax solution passed by the Nevada Assembly yesterday is far from the done-deal that media reports have suggested.
		Some of the angst is telegraphed by the bill’s first 600-odd words—the lengthy “findings” that attempt to strengthen the bill for the legal challenges it is likely to face (while also making the politicians voting for it look wise and compassionate).
		Instead, the bill's complexity suggests that its authors’ well-known reluctance to let any prospective taxpayer penny escape the insatiable maw of government may be operating in some as-yet unseen manner.

		The bill -- AB 2628 -- proposes that 75,000 permits be set aside to let owners of hybrid vehicles that average at least 45 miles per gallon (mpg) drive with only one occupant in carpool lanes.
		Hybrid is a tool to achieve good fuel economy and low emissions, not an end in and of itself.
		This bill basically laughs in the face of that, saying that select group of Hybrid owners (and not even all hybrids at that) have carte' blanche to drive in the HOV lanes and laugh in the face of ride sharing programs.
