Four Stormont bills on issues from fair employment to fracking have fallen as MLAs accept there is not enough time to pass the legislation before the election.
Parties expressed their disappointment and frustration after the Assembly acknowledged there was "no realistic prospect" of the four Private Members' Bills being completed in the coming weeks.
They include a bill by Alliance MLA Chris Lyttle aimed at tackling the exclusion of teaching from legal protections against religious discrimination in recruitment.
