The Review Process
Changing an existing law is a slow and sometimes complex process. The diagram below has been developed to give you an overview of the different steps in the policy and legislative review process. It has been tailored to reflect the Review of the Associations Incorporation Act 1987 but the stages may be familiar to people already involved in forming government policies.
A green bill is draft legislation setting out possible changes in the law rather than a final Government position or decision.
Community comments about the Green Bill have been collated. They have directly influenced the instructions given to Parliamentary Counsel to draft new legislation affecting incorporated associations before a final ‘white bill’ is presented to the State Parliament for their consideration.
