Work of the committee
The committee examines the technical qualities of all legislative instruments to assess whether they comply with the committee's scrutiny principles, which are set out in Senate standing order 23(3). The committee's regular scrutiny work is set out in a Delegated Legislation Monitor each sitting week. The committee may also inquire into and report on other matters related to the technical scrutiny of legislative instruments and prepares an annual report on the work of the committee each year.
