The Delegated Legislation Joint Committee (JSCDL) responds to the Legislative Assembly Select Committee on Procedure's final report, specifically addressing recommendations regarding disallowance motions and committee operations during prorogation. The JSCDL supports allowing committees to operate during prorogation but opposes changes to disallowance motion procedures and the proposed amalgamation with the Standing Committee on Uniform Legislation.

The recommendations affect the process of parliamentary scrutiny of delegated legislation, potentially impacting government agencies creating subordinate legislation, individuals/entities affected by regulations, and the operation of parliamentary committees.
