The long title (properly, the title in some jurisdictions), as opposed to the short title, is the formal title of an act (such as an act of Parliament or of Congress) or a bill that appears at the beginning of every act and provides a description of the purposes or scope of the act.
Like other descriptive components of an act (such as the preamble, section headings, side notes, and short title), the long title seldom affects the operative provisions of an Act, except where the operative provisions are unclear or ambiguous and the long title provides a clear statement of the legislature's intention.
