Parliament grappling with old draft Antillean laws

September 04, 2015 8:44 AM
PHILIPSBURG--Almost five years after becoming a country within the Dutch Kingdom, Parliament has yet to determine which of the pending laws taken over from the former Netherlands Antilles should still be handled.
 
On Thursday afternoon, four such laws were on the agenda of a Central Committee meeting of Parliament. These laws were the amendments to the national ordinances related to admissions and expulsions, notaries and administrative jurisdiction and the national ordinance related to September 27, 1968 in Brussels about civil affairs.
 
After an hour of back and forth discussion with Justice Minister Dennis Richardson and Members of Parliament (MPs), it was decided to suspend the meeting pending a review of all pending laws from the Antillean Parliament. The review by government and parliament will seek to determine which laws should still be handled and which are to be scrapped, because the country already has its own updated regulations in place.
 
Parliament Chairman Dr. Lloyd Richardson said a new meeting will be called once the relevance of the pending laws has been sorted out.
