38 Certification of proposed internal rule or substantive rule
(1) Before the First Peoples' Assembly makes an internal rule or a substantive rule (including a rule amending or repealing or revoking such a rule), the First Peoples' Assembly must obtain a certificate from a qualified certifier stating that the person is of the opinion that the proposed internal rule or proposed substantive rule complies with the requirements of this Act relating to internal rules or substantive rules, as the case requires.
See section 27 of the Interpretation of Legislation Act 1984 which provides for amending and repealing or revoking subordinate instruments.
(2) The certificate obtained under subsection (1) must be tabled at the First Peoples' Assembly meeting at which the proposed internal rule or proposed substantive rule is to be made.
