Part 2: Regulators Secondary Legislation: Duty to Review Section 19: Secondary legislation: duty to review
The Small Business Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 requires that secondary legislation which impacts on business must include provision for a statutory review, undertaking to carry out a review of the legislation and report on it within 5 years of the legislation coming into force. The section amends a measure in the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 that sets out what the review needs to look at. In relation to EU derived legislation, the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act states that the review must have regard to how the other EU member states have implemented the obligation. The amended section clarifies that the requirement is to review implementation in other EU member states "as far as is reasonable", rather than reviewing the implementation in all the other EU member states.
	This section extends to the United Kingdom.
