No. It is passive voice. The subject of the sentence (the bill) does not take the action indicated (to pass). The action is performed by the legislature (the object of a prepositional phrase).
Try...
The legislature passed the bill.
Yes, that is in the active voice. The action goes from the subject to the object. Legislature -> Bill
I repeat: The original post by Mandi was passive voice. Manny's example was active voice.
