Note
The -s form carries all three meanings of enact, and each one needs a direct object: a parliament enacts a bill, an actor enacts a role, a reform enacts a change. Because the verb is always transitive, a sentence that stops on it ("the council enacts") sounds unfinished. Give it its object, and let a singular subject such as he, she, it or one institution take this form.
