omnibus billsearch for term: "Omnibus" is a form of the Latin "omnis" which means "all" or "every". An "omnibus bill" is a bill that, instead of covering a single issue or legislative action, ties many unrelated actions together. In this way, undesirable laws can be justified as "neccessary" and "unavoidable" in the course of passing more desirable ones.
