(1)Before issuing or revising the RSE Code, the Welsh Ministers must—

(b)lay before Senedd Cymru a draft of the proposed Code (or, in the case of revisions, of the proposed revised Code).
(2)The Welsh Ministers must not issue the RSE Code (or the revised RSE Code) unless a draft of the proposed Code (or of the proposed revised Code)—
(a)has been laid before the Senedd under subsection (1)(b), and
(b)has been approved by a resolution of the Senedd.
(3)If the Senedd resolves to approve a draft laid before it under subsection (1)(b), the Welsh Ministers must issue the RSE Code (or the revised RSE Code) in the form of the draft.
