The Order also makes further provision as to what must be entered on the register of charities in relation to the annual return (the annual return itself is not entered on the register).
The Commissioner must enter on the register a narrative statement as to the charity's compliance with its public benefit duty in the year to which the annual return relates (or to which it should relate, if late). If the charity included a statement in its annual return, and the Commissioner approves the statement, then that statement can be entered on the register. If the annual return is not submitted (in time or at all), or the Commissioner does not approve the charity's statement (or, for any other reason, decides not to enter it in the form in which the charity submitted it), then the Commissioner can produce a version of the statement setting out how it appears to the Commissioner that the charity has (or has not) complied with its public benefit duty. The Commissioner must enter the statement (as approved or produced by the Commissioner) on the register within 4 months after the end of the year concerned (amounting to a further 2 months after the annual return is due).
If the charity's last annual return was not received within the time allowed (which is 2 months from the end of the year concerned), then the register must also include a note that it was late.
The Order was made on 16th December 2019 and came into force on 23rd December 2019.

Road Works (Permit Fees) (Jersey) Order 2019.
This Order sets out fees for permits to carry out road works under the Road Works and Events (Jersey) Law 2016 and repeals the Road Works (Permit Fees) (Jersey) Order 2018.
Article 1 is an interpretation provision.
Article 2 specifies 2 sets of fees depending on whether the road works authorised by the permit for which an application is made include the use of fixed scaffolding in or on a road. The amount of the fee is also dependent on the length of time that the road works take or, where applicable, the fixed scaffolding in or on a road is in place and on the extent to which the road works impact on normal traffic movement. For the purpose of determining the fee, the length of time that road works take is determined by the date on which notice is given of completion of road works. Under the current Order, the fee is determined by the expected length of time that the road works are likely to take and the expected impact that they will have on normal traffic use. Under the new Order, as under the current Order, additional fees are added to the permit fee if the road works involve breaking up the road and if the relevant highway authority incurs additional costs administering a system for monitoring the placement, use and removal of scaffolding. The specified fees are each increased by 2.5%.
Article 2 also makes a new provision setting out the fees payable if an application is cancelled.
Article 3 specifies a fixed fee of £35.88 for an application to vary a permit, an increase of 2.51%. Article 4 repeals the Road Works (Permit Fees) (Jersey) Order 2018.
Article 5 sets out the title of the Order and provides for its commencement.
The Order was made on 19th December 2019 and came into force on 1st January 2020.
R&O.149/2019.
Social Security (Contributions) (Amendment No. 16) (Jersey) Order 2019.
The Order amends the Social Security (Contributions) (Jersey) Order 1975 to amend the basis on which the amount of full rate Class 2 contributions payable is calculated for any such contributions which are paid more than 12 months after they fall due.
The Order brings the calculation into line with that used for calculating late payments of reduced rate Class 2 contributions. The contribution payable increases by the same proportion as any increase in the standard monthly earnings limit.
The Order was made on 20th December 2019 and came into force on 1st January 2020.
R&O.150/2019.
Road Traffic ( St. Helier ) (Amendment No. 35) (Jersey) Order 2019.
This Order makes provision for designated parking bays in the parish of St. Helier for electric vehicles made available for use by a car club to its members.
Article 1 defines "principal Order" as the Road Traffic ( St. Helier ) (Jersey) Order 1996.
Article 2 inserts in the principal Order a new Article 27B which allows the Connétable of St. Helier or the Minister for Infrastructure ("issuing body") to grant permits to a car club for the parking of electric vehicles in roads specified in a new Part 15 in Schedule 8 ("designated area"). The fee payable for a permit for 12 months is £824. There is no restriction on the length of time an electric vehicle may remain parked in the designated area. "Electric vehicle" is defined to mean a vehicle powered solely by an electric motor.
Article 3 deletes 4 parking bays which are currently designated in Halkett Place and The Parade subject to a one hour limit and specifies them as the designated area in the new Part 15 in Schedule 8.
Article 4 provides for the Order to come into force 7 days after the day it is made.

The fees have been increased from a year ago by 2.5% (subject to some rounding down).
