Bills to get 1st, 2nd & 3rd readings in HoA today, Nov 13, 2017
It appears also that at each sitting of the HoA there is a new bill or one to be amended on the Financial Services sector and perhaps rightly so, as the international community changes the rule ever so often. Today is no different as Premier and Minister of Finance Dr The Honourable D. Orlando Smith (AL) is to give the first reading to yet another new bill entitled Financial Services (Special Circumstances) Act 2017.
You on your own for information
Usually, when a call is made to the Attorney General’s Chambers or the mover of the bill, the public and the media are told to “check when the Bill is Gazetted.”
However, it is not all times that the public, especially the ordinary person with no legal training or interest, understands these bills.
More Readings
Today, Monday November 13, 2017 at the Eleventh Sitting of the Second Session of the Third House of Assembly, three bills will get their second and third readings.
They are the Marriage (Amendment) Act 2017, the Micro Business Companies Act, 2017 and the Limited Partnership Act 2017.
Following the third reading, the bill is then passed by the Parliament, then sent to the Governor for signature.
The public for the most part has not a clue what these bills entail or if and how it can improve people’s lives as they struggle to recover from Hurricanes Irma and Maria, the two hurricanes that destroyed their homes, cars, businesses, boats, lives or might have killed a loved one.

The Paradise Papers is @#$% and it says multiple times throughout the articles that NOTHING, NONE of the business dealings are illegal! It's only making news because of the high profiles of the people involved. Moving right along....
