Powers relating to retained EU law Section 17: Retained EU law dashboard and report
This section imposes a duty to report on retained EU law reform.
	Subsection (1) places an obligation on the Secretary of State to update the retained EU law dashboard and publish and lay before Parliament a report on the revocation and reform of retained EU law at set intervals of time known as "reporting periods".
	Subsections (2) and (3) specify that each report must:
summarise data on the retained EU law dashboard,
set out progress made in revoking and reforming retained EU law during the relevant reporting period, and
detail the Government’s plans for revocation and reform of retained EU law in future reporting periods, including a list of provisions of retained EU law which His Majesty’s Government intends to revoke or reform.
	The dashboard must be updated and report laid within 30 days after the end of each reporting period.
	Subsections (4) and (5) define each of the reporting periods. The first report would cover the period from Royal Assent to 23 December 2023. Further reports would cover each subsequent period of 6 months. The final report would cover the period of 6 months from 24 December 2025 to 23 June 2026, to align with the expiry of the powers conferred by section 12 (power to restate assimilated law or reproduce sunsetted retained EU rights, powers, liabilities, etc) and section 14 (powers to revoke or replace).
	Subsection (6) sets out that, should the Secretary of State fail to meet the requirements in subsection (1), then they must explain why in a written statement which they publish and lay before Parliament.
	Subsection (7) defines "retained EU law dashboard" as the database of retained EU law maintained and made publicly available by the Secretary of State. It also defines "revoke" consistently with the definition at section 14.
	Subsection (8) clarifies that "reform" of retained EU law, in subsection (2), includes its replacement.
	Subsection (9) clarifies that the final report should not include details of the Government’s plans to revoke and reform retained EU law reform in future reporting periods (as there will be no further reporting periods).
