Scottish Elections (Representation and Reform) Act 2025

Section 6– Scottish Parliament: disqualification relating to sexual offences etc.

30.This section amends section 15 of the Scotland Act 1998, which sets out the grounds on which a person is disqualified from becoming a member or continuing to be a member of the Scottish Parliament. Section 15 is amended so that a person who is subject to “any relevant notification requirements” or “a relevant sexual harm or risk order” is disqualified from membership of the Scottish Parliament. The definition of “relevant notification requirements” and “relevant sexual harm or risk order” is by reference to sections 31(4) and (5) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (“the 1973 Act”) respectively. These definitions are added to the 1973 Act by section 7.
