Draft Legislation:
This is a draft item of legislation and has not yet been made as a UK Statutory Instrument. This draft has been replaced by a new draft, The Byelaws (Alternative Procedure) (England) Regulations 2015 ISBN 978-0-11-113840-3
EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulation)
These Regulations, which are relevant to England only, prescribe classes of byelaws to which section 236 (procedure, etc, for byelaws) of the Local Government Act 1972 (“the Act”) does not apply and classes of byelaws to which may be revoked under section 236B of the Act and make provision about the procedure (“the alternative procedure”) for the making and coming into force of such byelaws and the procedure for revoking byelaws.
Regulation 4 prescribes the classes of byelaws to which section 236 of the Act does not apply. Each class of byelaws is numbered and described in an entry in column 1 of the Table in Schedule 1 to these Regulations, made under the enactment and section in the corresponding entries in columns 2 and 3 respectively and by an authority of a description specified in the corresponding entry in column 4.
Regulation 5 provides that the alternative procedure specified in regulation 6 to 11 applies only to the classes of byelaws prescribed by regulation 4 made on or after the date these Regulations come into force. Regulation 5 also excludes certain requirements specified in the alternative procedure where the byelaw being made has no other purpose than to revoke another byelaw.
Regulations 6 to 11 specify the alternative procedure for the making and coming into force of such byelaws.
Regulations 14 to 23 specify the alternative procedure for the revocation of byelaws.
Regulation 24 makes provision for amendments to enactments consequential on the making of these Regulations. The amendments are set out in Schedule 2. Regulation 25 provides for section 236 of the Act to continue to apply in relation to byelaws of a class prescribed by regulation 4 made before the coming into force of these Regulations. The effect is that such byelaws do not come into force unless confirmed by the Secretary of State.
No impact assessment has been prepared in relation to these Regulations because no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
