	Special legislation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Special legislation (also called local legislation) is a legal term of art used in the United States which refers to acts of a state legislature which apply only to a specific municipality (or a group thereof) which is identified by name in the legislation.
		In some states, such as Pennsylvania, the state constitution prohibits special legislation; though it is often possible for the legislature to evade this restriction by describing the community in great detail without mentioning its name.
		The term "special legislation" may also apply in some states to legislation which names a particular person, as in appointment to a government position or conveyance of real property between an individual and the state, or between an individual and an unincorporated community.

	Special Representative of the Secretary General on Human Rights Defenders
		Legislation that is of specific concern to the Special Representative in the context of the work of human rights defenders and the effective implementation of the Declaration has existed in many national legal jurisdictions much before the current global adoption of security driven measures.
		However, as the Special Representative has emphasised in her earlier reports to the General Assembly and the CHR, laws, policies, and practices that disregard or undermine human rights norms are proving counter-productive to the objective of assuring security at the national or global level.
		In the context of United Nations ‘security legislation’, the Special Representative limits her focus to resolutions of the Security Council which have emerged in response to recent terrorist attacks, and which have specifically called for action by States in the domain of security and counter-terrorism.

		Enzi, who is an original cosponsor of the legislation and worked on the bill in its early stages in the committee, said the legislation makes four improvements that are particularly important to Wyoming students.
		Enzi said even though Wyoming's approach to funding its special education programs may be highly effective, the system in place now prevents the state from qualifying for the same flexibility that is given to other states that fund their programs from grants provided to local educational agencies, or school districts.
		The legislation would also simplify the disciplinary framework for schools to administer the law and maintain the requirement that schools look at whether a child's behavior was the result of their disability when considering disciplinary action.
