What is a legislative moratorium?

Question

i've looked in search engines, and i still am not sure what it is exactly

Answer 1

a legal act which states you can't do something. the name has it.

ok so a legislative body passes a law which states that a certian practice cannot be done until further notice. the clasic example is with the death penalty. allrighty: so if a law is passed that says that nobody can be excecuted that'd be a moratorium. so would 'nobody can be excecuted while we look at this'

Answer 2

A period during which the legislature does not pass any laws.
