3Consequential amendments Empowered by s 39
- Arms Act 1983 (1983 No 44)
- Search and Surveillance Act 2012 (2012 No 24)
The Gangs Act 2024 includes a schedule of consequential amendments. This schedule lists two other laws that will be changed because of the new Gangs Act. The first law that will be changed is the Arms Act 1983. The second law that will be changed is the Search and Surveillance Act 2012.
Consequential amendments are changes made to existing laws to make sure they work well with a new law. In this case, the new Gangs Act might affect how guns are regulated or how searches are done, so the other laws need to be updated.
You can find more information about these changes in section 39 of the Gangs Act 2024. This section gives the power to make these changes to other laws.
