Part 1: Constitutional Arrangements Chapter 5: Other provisions about legislation by the Assembly Section 11: Introduction of Bills: justice impact assessment
This section inserts section 110A into GoWA to provide for justice impact assessments to be made in relation to Assembly Bills. It does that by requiring the Assembly’s standing orders to include provision requiring the person in charge of an Assembly Bill to make a written statement setting out the potential impact of the Bill’s provisions on the justice system in England and Wales. The "justice system" for these purposes includes the impact on prosecutors such as the Crown Prosecution Service and Serious Fraud Office, courts and prisons. The standing orders must prescribe the form and manner in which the assessment is to be made and the assessment must be published.
