Explanatory Memorandum
-
This Bill which comes into effect on 1 April
1986 amends the Public Health and Urban Services
Ordinance ("the principal Ordinance") upon the
establishment of the Regional Council. One of the
functions of the Regional Council will be to be the
Authority under the principal Ordinance.
2. The Bill amends the title of the
principal Ordinance to the "Public Health and
Municipal Services Ordinance" and consequential
amendments are made to references to the old name in
other Ordinances (First Schedule).
3. Prior to 1 April 1986 various By-laws were
made by the Urban Council in exercise of its powers
under the principal Ordinance. Parallel subsidiary
legislation in the form of regulations were made by
the Governor in Council. These regulations are
amended to become By-laws of the Regional Council and,
in order to distinquish them from the Regional Council
By-laws, the titles of the Urban Council By-laws are
amended to identify the fact that they made by the
Urban Council. Consequential amendments are made to
all subsidiary legislation under the principal
Ordinance and to references to such subsidiary
legislation in other Ordinances (Third Schedule).
