Chapter 15 - Delegated
legislation and disallowance
“Sunsetting” of
instruments
Part 6 of the LIA contains provisions for
“sunsetting” of legislative instruments, that is, ceasing their operation,
generally after ten years. Sections 52 and 53 provide for the tabling of lists
of instruments to be “sunsetted”, and for either House to resolve, within 6
months after tabling, that particular instruments or provisions continue in
effect. In effect, each House is empowered to veto a “sunsetting”.
