"New version
and consolidated
version. |
16.
- (a) The Minister of Justice may publish in Reshumot a
draft of a new version of any Law-including an Order-in-Council-which
existed in Palestine immediately before the establishment of the
State and is still in force in the State. A new version shall
embody all the changes resulting from the establishment of the
State and its authorities and all the changes which occurred in
that Law, by virtue of legislation, after the establishment of
the State.
- (b) A draft of a new version shall be brought before an Advisory Board to be established by the Minister of Justice. The Board shall consist of five persons, viz. a Judge who has been recommended by the President of the Supreme Court and who shall be the chairman; the Attorney-General or his representative; a member of the Chamber of Advocates who has been recommended by the Chamber; a jurist who has been recommended by the Law Faculty of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem; and a person who has been recommended by the Minister charged with the implementation of the Law concerned.
- (c) The Advisory Board shall examine whether the proposed version is substantively faithful to the original Law and whether it embodies the changes referred to in subsection (a), shall make therein such corrections as to these matters as it may think fit and shall submit the draft to the Constitution, Legislation and Juridical Committee of the Knesset.
- (d) The Minister of Justice may propose to the Constitution, Legislation and Juridical Committee of the Knesset a consolidated version of any Law made in the State, including a consolidated version of a new version under this section. A consolidated version shall embody all the changes which have occurred in the Law by virtue of legislation.
- (e) In any version under this section, the provisions of the Law may be re-divided in any way, amalgamated, provided with headings and shifted, different Laws on the same subject may be combined into one Law, the title of the Law or of any of its subdivisions may be changed, phrasing may by unified, syntax may be corrected and any purely formal improvement may be made-so long as all this does not involve a substantive change-and printing errors may be rectified.
- (f) The Constitution, Legislation and Juridical Committee of
the Knesset shall consider the proposals submitted to it under
this section and shall determine the new version or consolidated
version. The new version or consolidated version shall be published
in Reshumot with the signature of the Minister of Justice
within the time prescribed by the Committee.
- (g) When any such version as referred to in sub-section (f) has been published, it shall, from the date of publication onwards or from the date determined by the Committee, be the binding Law, and no other version of that Law shall thenceforth have effect, and the plea that the new or consolidated version differs substantively from the original Law shall not be heard.".
