Report on SO 61A - Consideration of Committee Reports; SO 230 - Order of Reference; and SO 229 - Debate on First Reading
Procedure and Privileges Committee (Council)· 13 November 2002general_report
The WA Procedure and Privileges Committee reviewed three Standing Orders. It recommends amending SO 61A to clarify the time allocated for debating committee reports. It also suggests amending SO 230 to ensure a delay between the second reading speech and debate on a Bill, and proposes repealing SO 229 regarding debate on the first reading of certain bills.
Impact
The changes aim to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of parliamentary debate and consideration of committee reports and bills. This affects all members of parliament and, indirectly, the public through the legislative process.
