Exposure draft of Legislation Rule 2016
An exposure draft of the Legislation Rule 2016 is available for your information and comment. Please click here to download the exposure draft.
The Legislative Instruments Act 2003 will be renamed the Legislation Act 2003 (the Act) and will undergo other changes when the Acts and Instruments (Framework Reform) Act 2015 commences on or before 5 March 2016.
Among other things, the changes will require the First Parliamentary Counsel to make a rule prescribing the approved website on which registered laws and other documents are to be available to the public under section 15C of the Act as amended.
The attached draft rule meets this requirement, and deals with some other matters as permitted by the Act, including some aspects of the lodgement and registration process previously dealt with in the Legislative Instruments Regulations 2004 (which will be repealed when changes to the Act commence).
Any comments on the exposure draft can be sent to the email addresses specified in the draft. Comments should be sent no later than 5 February 2016.
