Statute Revision Act is an Act of the Parliament of Palmshire, passed during reign of King Legion I, that repealed or amended various existing legislation.

Legislative History

The bill that became Statute Revision Act was originally drafted by the Duke of Rockford on 31 October 2016, with revisions being finalized months later on 21 December.

The bill was then introduced by the Duke of Rockford during the Parliament sitting on 6 January 2017 with a little or no debate. It was voted upon by the Parliament, unanimously passing it with five for and none against.

The bill was subsequently granted a Royal Assent by the King and became the law.
