A name for a proposed law?

Answer 1

There are numerous different proposed laws that have numerous different names in different jurisdictions. Given the fickle nature of political debate, they come and go far too quickly for this answer to remain current.

However, in most parliamentary or congressional systems, the general term for a proposed law is a bill.

Answer 2

In the parliamentary system, when a proposed law is before a legislative body for debate, it is called a 'bill.' Once the bill has been passed, it is then called an 'act.' Sometimes you will see the word 'statute.' An act and a statute are the same thing. Other democratic systems of government frequently use similar terminology. Frequently, in the news, there will be a reference to bill such-and-such, sometimes even years after the bill has been passed and has become an act. People in the media tend not to distinguish between a bill (which has not become law) and an act (which has). When you hear a reference to bill such-and-such, it would be a mistake to assume the bill has not already necome an act.
