Orders of the
States of The Committee recalled that the commencement provisions contained within Jersey Amendment (No.33) provided for it to come into force on the same date as the (P.59/2017): Commissioner for Standards (Jersey) Law 2017. Amendment (No.33) and the Draft first Commissioner for Standards (Jersey) Law 2017 (Appointed Day) Act 201- amendment. (P.58/2017) had been lodged au Greffe' simultaneously and it had been envisaged 450/99/2(12) that they would both be debated at the same meeting of the States and would take
effect at the same time.
However, whilst P.58/2017 was adopted on 19th July 2017 and brought the Commissioner for Standards (Jersey) Law 2017 into force on 24th July 2017, the debate on Amendment (No.33) had been deferred until September 2017.
The Committee noted that the commencement provisions contained within Amendment (No.33) indicated that it would come into force on the same date as the Commissioner for Standards (Jersey) Law 2017. As that Law was already in force, it was necessary to amend the commencement provisions and the first amendment had the effect of bringing Amendment (No.33), if adopted, into effect forthwith'.
The Committee approved the amendment and requested the Committee Clerk to take the necessary action.
