Sec. 10. In General


    Taken up here are the procedures involved in the consideration and 
passage of private bills. The nature and form of private bills as 
legislation are treated in Chapter 24, infra.
    Where a bill affects an individual, individuals, corporations, 
institutions, and so forth, it should and does go to the Private 
Calendar. Where it applies to a class and not to individuals as such, 
it then becomes a general bill and would be entitled to a place on the 
Consent Calendar. See Sec. 7.3, supra.
