LEGISLATION ACT 2019 - SECT 147A

147A Regulations may make consequential amendments to other secondary legislation that authorises sub-delegated legislation

1 This section applies to any secondary legislation that—

a) authorises the making of other secondary legislation (
"sub-delegated legislation" ); and

b) is required, by its own empowering legislation, to contain a statement to the effect that the sub-delegated legislation is secondary legislation.

2 A failure to contain that statement does not affect the validity of either the secondary legislation or the sub-delegated legislation.

3 However, the Governor-General may, by Order in Council, make regulations to amend the secondary legislation (whether or not made by the Governor-General) to—

a) contain a statement to that effect and refer to Part 3 of this Act as containing the publication requirements; and

b) make any other consequential amendments.

4 The only facts, circumstances, or preconditions that must exist or be satisfied before those amendments are made are those that apply under this section.

5 Regulations made under this section are secondary legislation (see Part 3 for publication requirements).
