Amendment 3 to the Regional Honours and Awards Act
This proposed Act Amendment restructures the Regional Honours and Awards Act without changing the orders substantively. A-14 is, at this point, both the oldest Act in force and the least up-to-specifications legislation given modern standards. However, a full replacement is undue, given the historical significance of A-14. As such, the amendment puts A-14 in modern formatting. It also codifies the use of Resolutions to induct states into Orders of Merit, a precedent that as yet isn't in the Act.
