This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.
If a law called the Parliamentary Service Act 2000 talks about a referendum, it will apply to the kind of referendum this bill is about. This means that when the Parliamentary Service Act 2000 mentions a referendum, it will be treated as if it is talking about a referendum as defined in this proposed bill. You can think of it like the two laws are working together to make sure the rules are clear.
