Standing Order 230A - Referral of Uniform Legislation and Reporting Time Frames
Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review Committee· 30 August 2005general_report
The WA Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review Committee recommends amending Standing Order 230A to improve the scrutiny of uniform legislation. The report suggests that bills should be referred to the committee after the second reading speech, not the first. It also proposes reducing the reporting timeframe from 30 calendar days to 14 sitting days.
Impact
The changes aim to improve parliamentary scrutiny of uniform legislation by ensuring bills are properly identified and reviewed within a reasonable timeframe. This affects the Legislative Council, Ministers, and potentially the quality of uniform laws enacted in WA.
