Section 77 - The RSE Code: procedure
176.Section 77 sets out the procedure for making or revising the RSE Code under section 8 of the Act. Before making or revising the Code, the Welsh Ministers must consult such persons as they think appropriate. They must also lay the proposed Code (or revised Code) before the Senedd. If the proposed Code (or revision) is approved by resolution of the Senedd the Welsh Ministers must publish the Code as approved by the Senedd. If the proposed Code (or revision) is not approved by resolution of the Senedd the Welsh Ministers may not issue it.
177.Subsection (4) allows consultation on the Code, required by subsection (1)(a), to be carried out before section 77 comes into force.
