What is Law Revision?
(recent update)
|
|
Law revision is done pursuant to the Revised Edition of the Laws Act (Cap. 275) (RELA). It is undertaken by the Law Revision Commission, which is chaired by the Attorney-General.
The Law Revision Commission prepares and publishes revised editions of heavily amended legislation as well as new legislation enacted the previous year. The Commission has authority to make clerical, editorial or other changes of a non-substantive nature to legislation. These include the following:
(a) omit all repealing provisions contained in Acts or SL;
(b) omit all provisions prescribing the date an Act or SL is to come into force;
(c) add a long title or a short title to any Act or alter such title;
(d) supply or alter tables of contents, section headings, footnotes and headings to Parts and Chapters of any Act or SL;
(e) incorporate in any Act or SL any amendment made to any schedule, form or other part by any authority under powers conferred by that Act or SL;
(f) alter the order of sections of any Act or SL and renumber the sections;
(g) alter the form of arrangement of any section of an Act or SL either by transposing words, by combining it with another section, or by dividing it into subsections;
(h) divide an Act or SL into parts or other divisions;
(i) correct grammatical and typographical mistakes and make verbal modifications not affecting meaning of an Act or SL;
(j) amend names, localities, departments, offices, titles in accordance with circumstances of Singapore;
(k) correct cross references;
(l) incorporate amendments made to an Act or SL;
(m) delete and replace obsolete words, expressions, nomenclature or other provisions.
When a revised edition of Acts has been prepared, it is to be transmitted to the President who may by order published in the Gazette provide for the date of coming into force of such revised edition. When a revised edition of subsidiary legislation has been prepared, the Commissioners will by Notice in the Gazette provide for the date of coming into force of such revised subsidiary legislation. From the relevant date of coming into operation, the revised edition of the Act or subsidiary legislation is to be considered the sole and only proper Statute Book of Singapore in respect of the Acts or subsidiary legislation contained in the revised edition (section 7 and section 17 of RELA). The revised date is thus different from the date the legislation first came into operation.
