The Act Part 5: Final provisions Section 35 - Regulations
160.This section provides that the various regulation making powers under the Act may make different provision for different purposes or areas and includes the power to make a range of ancillary provision (that is, incidental, supplementary, consequential, transitory, transitional or saving provision).
161.The ability to make different provision for different purposes enables a regulation making power to be used in different ways in different circumstances. For example, this means that section 15 can be used to make separate regulations for different types of support scheme. The ability to make different provision for different areas means that regulations can be applied to particular parts of Scotland, which may be relevant to area based schemes or the running of a pilot in one area before rolling that out more broadly.
162.This section does not apply to commencement regulations which have a more limited range of ancillary powers (relating to making transitional, transitory or saving provision).
