An Act of Senedd Cymru (Welsh: Deddf gan Senedd Cymru), or informally an Act of the Senedd, is primary legislation that can be made by the Senedd (Welsh Parliament; Welsh: Senedd Cymru) under part 4 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 (as amended by the Wales Act 2017).[3] Prior to 6 May 2020 any legislation was formally known as an Act of the National Assembly for Wales (Welsh: Deddf Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru) or informally, an Act of the Assembly.

The power to make primary legislation was conferred on the assembly following the 2011 elections as a commencement order had been passed in the Assembly by simple majority prior to dissolution.[4] The activation of part 4 legislative powers was as a result of a "yes" vote in the 2011 referendum held in Wales.[5] When the power to make Acts of the Assembly commenced, the Assembly lost the ability to make Measures under part 3 of the 2006 Act. Existing Measures will remain as law unless repealed.[3]

The current name was adopted when the Senedd and Elections (Wales) Act 2020 took effect on 6 May 2020, which renamed the "Acts of the National Assembly for Wales" stated in section 107(1) of the Government of Wales Act 2006 as officially "Acts of Senedd Cymru" (plural Welsh: Deddfau Senedd Cymru) and informally referred to as “Acts of the Senedd”.

## Procedure

[edit]

### Consideration by the Senedd

[edit]

Bills may be introduced by Welsh Government, a committee of the Senedd, the Senedd Commission or by individual Members of the Senedd. Ballots are held to select which individual Senedd members may present bills.

Once a bill is introduced, there are four stages that need to be completed prior to the bill being submitted for royal assent. The first stage involves consideration of the general principles of the bill by a committee of the Senedd and then agreement of these principles by the Senedd in plenary session. In the second stage, the bill is considered in detail by a bill committee. The third stage involves detailed consideration of the bill and any amendments by the Senedd in plenary, this can be followed by a Report Stage where further amendments can be proposed. Finally, in the fourth stage, the Senedd votes to pass the bill in its final form.[6]

### Period of intimation and Royal assent

[edit]

The Welsh Seal struck during the reign of Elizabeth II

When a bill completes its passage through the Senedd, it enters a four-week period of intimation, during which the Attorney General for England and Wales or the Counsel General for Wales may refer the bill to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom if they consider that any provisions of the bill are outside the legislative competency of the Senedd. The Secretary of State for Wales may also make an order prohibiting the Presiding Officer from submitting the Bill for royal assent during this time. After the period of intimation expires, the Presiding Officer may submit the bill for royal assent. The bill becomes an Act of the Senedd when Letters Patent under the Welsh Seal are made by the King, Charles III to signify assent.[7][8]

Royal assent to Acts of the National Assembly for Wales was given by means of Letters Patent using the following wording:

Letters patent for an act receiving Royal assent[9]

ELIZABETH THE SECOND by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Our other Realms and Territories Queen Head of the Commonwealth Defender of the Faith To Our Trusty and well beloved the members of the National Assembly for Wales GREETING: FORASMUCH as one or more Bills have been passed by the National Assembly for Wales and have been submitted to Us for Our Royal Assent by the Clerk of the National Assembly for Wales in accordance with the Government of Wales Act 2006 the short Titles of which Bills are set forth in the Schedule hereto but those Bills by virtue of the Government of Wales Act 2006 do not become Acts of the National Assembly for Wales nor have effect in the Law without Our Royal Assent signified by Letters Patent under Our Welsh Seal signed with Our own hand We have therefore caused these Our Letters Patent to be made and have signed them and by them do give Our Royal Assent to those Bills which shall be taken and accepted as good and perfect Acts of the Assembly and be put in due execution accordingly COMMANDING ALSO the Keeper of Our Welsh Seal to seal these Our Letters with that Seal.

* the Civil Service;
* regulation, registration and finances of political parties;
* whether Senedd elections may be held on the same day as certain other elections and referendums;

* crime, public order, and policing and police and crime commissioners;
* foreign affairs including nationality, immigration and travel documents, extradition, and international trade;
