11
Purpose
1 The purpose of this subpart is to— a) provide for orderly
transitional arrangements for the application of this Act to
secondary legislation that is not published on the legislation website at the
publication commencement date; and
b) otherwise clarify the Act’s
application to secondary legislation.
2 See also section 147(1)(s) , which
provides for regulations to be made for the purposes of this subpart (the
"regulations" ).
12 Outline of transition to Part 3 publication
1 The transition of
secondary legislation to publication under Part 3 applies as follows: a) on
the main commencement date,— i) the definition of secondary legislation set
out in this Act will apply (see clause 13 ); and
ii) amendments will be made,
by another Act, to identify empowering provisions that empower the making of
secondary legislation; and
iii) instruments made under those
empowering provisions will be secondary legislation for the purposes of this
Act (for example, for interpretation and disallowance purposes); but
iv)
existing publication requirements previously set out in the
empowering legislation will generally continue to apply to the
secondary legislation at that time under Part 3 (see sections 73 and 74 , as
in force on the main commencement date, and clause 14 ); and
b) on the
publication commencement date, Part 3 is amended (see Schedule 2 of the
Legislation (Repeals and Amendments) Act 2019 ) and this subpart and the
regulations provide for an orderly transition of secondary legislation to the
publication requirements set out in this Act as follows: i) Part 3 ’s
requirements for makers to lodge secondary legislation and
minimum legislative information with the PCO for publication apply, but are
modified by the list exemptions and publication exemptions in clauses 15 and
16 , as set out below; and
ii) until the list deadline set by or under this
subpart, a list exemption applies, and the existing publication requirements
generally continue to apply, under clause 15 despite the publication
commencement date; but
iii) minimum legislative information for classes of
secondary legislation will be required to be lodged with the PCO by that list
deadline (so that a complete list of secondary legislation may be published on
the legislation website); and
iv) on the list deadline, the list exemption
ceases and, after that, minimum legislative information for both existing and
new secondary legislation must be lodged with the PCO for publication under
Part 3 ; and
v) after a date set under this subpart, secondary legislation
that is not listed may be revoked; and
vi) until the publication deadline set
under this subpart, a publication exemption applies under clause 16 (so that
the text of the secondary legislation need not be lodged with the PCO for
publication); but
vii) classes of secondary legislation will be required to
be lodged with the PCO for publication by the publication deadline; and
viii)
on the publication deadline, the publication exemption ceases and, after that,
both existing and new secondary legislation must be lodged with the PCO for
publication under Part 3 ; and
ix) after a date set under this subpart,
secondary legislation that is not published on the legislation website may be
revoked.
2 This is a guide only to the general scheme and effect of this
subpart.
1 The definition of secondary legislation— a) applies
to an instrument regardless of whether it is made before, on, or after the
main commencement date; and
b) extends to an instrument made under an
identified empowering provision (see subclause (3)).
2 An instrument made
before that date that is in force under a provision that empowers the making
of secondary legislation, under the Royal prerogative, or under an identified
empowering provision, becomes, on the main commencement date,
secondary legislation. Example: ExamplesInstrument made under
empowering provision before main commencement dateAn order is made under
section 100 of an Act before the main commencement date.On the main
commencement date, an amendment is made to section 100 by the
Secondary Legislation Act so that it states that orders made under it are
secondary legislation.The order is secondary legislation.Instruments made
under empowering provision if amendment passed but not yet in forceAn order is
made under section 120 of an Act after the main commencement date.The
Secondary Legislation Act has been passed, amending section 120. The amendment
will result in section 120 stating that orders made under it are
secondary legislation. However, the amendment has not yet come into force.
Under subclause (3), section 120 is an identified empowering provision.The
order is secondary legislation.In addition, section 120 may be changed, as an
interim step before the full amendments come into force, so that it clearly
states that orders made under it are secondary legislation (see subclauses (4)
and (5)).Instrument saved under empowering provisionAn order is made under
section 90 of a repealed Act. Section 90 was replaced by the section 100
referred to above.The order continues in force as if it were made under
section 100 (see section 36 of this Act and section 20 of the Interpretation
Act 1999).The order is secondary legislation.
3 For the purposes of this Act,
a provision is an
"identified empowering provision" if an amendment to the legislation (a
"secondary legislation amendment" )— a) has been passed or made that will
result in the legislation stating that instruments under that provision are
secondary legislation; but
b) that amendment is not yet in force.
4 The
Chief Parliamentary Counsel may authorise the PCO to make the following
changes to a version of legislation to show the effect of subclauses (1)(b)
and (3), the rest of this schedule, and Part 3 in relation to identified
empowering provisions: a) changes to insert statements to make it clear that
instruments made under identified empowering provisions are
secondary legislation:
b) changes to insert, replace, or remove statements
relating to listing, notification, publication, or presentation:
c) any other
changes that are purely consequential on those changes.
5 Subpart 2 of Part 3
applies to those changes as if they were changes referred to in section 87 ,
except that, for the purposes of ensuring that the secondary legislation
amendments (and any other related amendments relating to listing,
notification, publication, or presentation) are effective despite those
changes,— a) those changes must be treated as being revoked immediately
before those secondary legislation amendments (and related amendments) come
into force; and
b) section 90 (which deals with when editorial changes
usually take effect) does not apply.
1 This clause applies, for the purposes of
section 74(1)(a) , to empowering provisions that are enacted before the
main commencement date.
2 For the purposes of the
applicable publication requirements under that paragraph (as in force on the
main commencement date),— a) the PCO may record and publish, as the
applicable publication requirements for the empowering provision,— i) the 1
or more requirements to publish, notify, or otherwise make available
secondary legislation made under the empowering provision that applied under
an Act, with the same or substantially the same effect, immediately before the
main commencement date; and with
ii) any exemptions or limits on those
requirements; and with
iii) any necessary modifications in light of other
amendments made to the legislation on or after the main commencement date; and
b) the PCO must publish those applicable publication requirements, on the
legislation website, by publishing either a link to the previous provision
that set out that requirement or the record made under paragraph (a).
3
Nothing in this clause limits the information that the PCO may record and
publish in relation to an Act in relation to an empowering provision (for
example, as an aid to assist users to understand how this Act applies to
secondary legislation).

reference to disallowable instruments or to insert publication or notification

example, to clarify the maker of the instrument or to permit the instrument to
continue to come into force despite not yet being published); or

consequence of another amendment authorised by this clause (for example, to
update the legislation to reflect changed section references or procedural
requirements).

clause only after— a) consulting the committee of the House of
Representatives that is responsible for the review of secondary legislation;
and
