Treaty function - Standing Committee on Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review

Procedure and Privileges Committee (Council)· 10 May 2018review_report

The WA Legislative Council's Procedure and Privileges Committee reviewed a recommendation from the Standing Committee on Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review to remove its treaty examination function. The PPC supports the original recommendation, finding the function ineffective. The report recommends deleting clause 6.3(c) from Schedule 1 of the Standing Orders, which outlines the treaty examination function.

Impact

The change affects the Standing Committee on Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review by removing one of its defined functions. It may also indirectly affect the Legislative Council's oversight of treaties.
