16. Regulations

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

(1)

The Minister may make regulations for the purposes of carrying out or giving effect to the principles and provisions of this Act and in respect of all matters which are required or authorized by this Act to be prescribed.

(2)

Every regulation made by the minister shall be published in the Gazette and shall come into operation on the date of such publication or on such later date as may be specified in the regulation.

(3)

Every regulation made by the Minister shall as soon as convenient after its publication in the Gazette, be laid before

Parliament for approval. Any regulation which is not so approved shall be deemed to be rescinded with effect from the date of such disapproval without prejudice to anything previously done thereunder. Notification of the date on which a regulation is so deemed to be rescinded shall be published in the Gazette.
