Minor Adjustment to the Standing Orders: Notices of Motion to Disallow Subsidiary Legislation

Procedure and Privileges Committee (2013 - 2017)· 29 October 2013general_report

The WA Procedure and Privileges Committee recommends amending Standing Order 74 to allow notices of motion to disallow subsidiary legislation to remain on the Notice Paper for 60 days instead of 30. This addresses issues with the Interpretation Act 1984 and provides a permanent solution instead of temporary orders.

Impact

The change affects how the Legislative Assembly handles motions to disallow subsidiary legislation, providing more time for consideration and preventing notices from lapsing prematurely. It impacts government administration and legislative processes.
