Guideline 36


The title of an amending Act should include a reference to the amended Act.

36.1.The title of the amending Act should mention the Act being amended, by providing an unambiguous identifier of the Act, according to the national tradition (such as the indication of the kind of Act, the year of its enactment, and the number). It is preferable that the title of the amending Act also  indicates the title of the amended Act, or specifies what is to be amended.
36.2.If the amending Act is adopted by an institution other than the institution which adopted the original Act, the title should indicate the name of the latter institution.
36.3.The basic-unit amending the provisions of an Act should include in its title a precise reference to the amended parts of that Act.
