Division
The majority voted to pass the [bill](http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id:legislation/billhome/r5806) in the House of Representatives. In parliamentary jargon, they voted to read the bill for a [third time](http://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html). The bill will now go to the Senate, where the senators will decide if they also want to pass the bill so it can become law. ### What is the bill? The bill relates to enterprise agreements, which are "*collective agreements made at an enterprise level between employers and employees about terms and conditions of employment*" (see the [Fair Work Commission](https://www.fwc.gov.au/awards-and-agreements/agreements/make-agreement)). The bill's purpose is to introduce a shorter transition period so that agreements that don't comply with the Code have to be updated faster. It also reduces the scope of the transitional exemption from the enterprise agreement content rules in the Code. For more information about what all that means, see the [bills digest](http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/bd/bd1617a/17bd063).
