In
Wales, an
Act of the National Assembly for Wales (informally, an
Act of the Assembly) is
primary legislation that can be made by the
National Assembly for Wales under part 4 of the
Government of Wales Act 2006. The power to make Acts of the Assembly was conferred on the assembly following the
2011 elections as a commencement order had been passed in the assembly by simple majority prior to dissolution. The activation of part 4 legislative powers was as a result of a "yes" vote in the
2011 referendum held in Wales. When the power to make Acts of the Assembly commenced, the assembly lost the ability to make
Measures under part 3 of the 2006 Act. Existing Measures will remain as law unless repealed.
