Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review Committee· 4 April 2006general_report

The Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review Committee reviewed the Statute Law Revision Bill 2005, which aims to repeal obsolete or superseded legislation and facilitate the conversion of the state's legislative database to XML. The committee found the bill appropriate for an omnibus bill and recommended its passage without amendment. The report also discusses the process of referring omnibus bills to the committee and suggests improvements.

Impact

The bill primarily affects the Parliamentary Counsel's Office by streamlining legislative drafting and maintenance. It also benefits the public by improving access to a more accurate and up-to-date statute book. The Premier's office is impacted by the need to update Circular 15 of 2003.
