Statutory Repeals Act (2017)

An Act to repeal spent or redundant legislation, and to  amend the Grammatical, Formatting and Spelling Error Corrections Act (2014).

BE IT ENACTED by Her Excellency the Grand Chancellor, by and with the advice and consent of the Regional Assembly, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

(1) The following Acts shall be repealed in full:
(a) Constitutional Convention Act (2016);
(b) Charter Reform Act (2016);
(c) Regional Governance Act (2015);
(d) Imperial Requisition Procedures Act (2014); and
(e) Imperial Administration Act (2014).

(2) A list of partially repealed Acts shall be contained within Schedule I of this Act. Other provisions in the Acts shall not be renumbered.

(3) Where in any statutory legislation the term ‘Order’ is used to reference an Order-in-Council, these shall be interpreted as meaning an ‘Order of the Chancellory’.

(4) A list of amendments to the Grammatical, Formatting and Spelling Error Corrections Act (2014) shall be contained in Schedule II. Other provisions in the Act shall not be renumbered.

[big]SCHEDULE I: Repeals[/big]

(1) Sections (4), (8)-(10) and (12)-(15) of the Electoral Systems and Procedures Act (2014) shall be repealed.

(2) Sections (2)-(4) and (6)-(10) of the Constitutional and Legislative Amendments Act (2015) shall be repealed.

SCHEDULE II: Amendments to the GFSE Act (2014)

(1) Section (2) shall be replaced with:
“(2) The Grand Chancellor, with the advice and consent of the Speaker of the Regional Assembly, may, by Order, alter or correct grammatical, formatting and spelling errors in passed legislation without requiring to pass an amendment act.”

(2) Section (4) and (5) shall be replaced with:
“(4) A correction may be publicly submitted to the Grand Chancellor by any member of the Regional Assembly.

(5) The Grand Chancellor is required to present a draft Order to the Regional Assembly forty-eight (48) hours prior to the Order taking effect.”

(3) In section (7), the words: ‘, the Criminal Code (2013) and the Roleplay Rules (2017)’ shall be added to the end of the sentence.

(4) Sections (8)-(12) shall be replaced with:
“(8) Any member of the Regional Assembly may dispute an alteration or correction if they feel that the change is:
(a) Substantive enough in that it affects the interpretation of the legislation; or
(b) itself stylistically or linguistically incorrect.

(9) For a member to dispute an alteration or correction, they must submit a motion in the same topic as the draft Order. The Motion shall then be immediately voted on by the Assembly. ”

(10) Should the motion pass, then the Order shall be withdrawn and the Grand Chancellor shall be prohibited from reissuing an identical or highly similar Order. Should the motion fail, the Grand Chancellor may bring the Order into force.

(11) The Lord Chief Justice shall determine whether an Order is identical or highly similar. Should they consider it identical or highly similar, or if, following an Order coming into force, they believe an Order fulfils a criteria in section (8), they may issue a Judicial Order to block the legislation.

(12) Judicial Orders may be contested by the Grand Chancellor, or overturned by an Act of the Assembly.”
