268A Laying documents before House of Parliament that is not sitting
If a provision of this Act requires the Minister or the Premier, as soon as is practicable after the occurrence of an event, to cause a document to be laid before each House of Parliament, or dealt with under this section, and —
on the day after the event occurs, a House of Parliament is not sitting; and
the Minister or the Premier (as the case requires) is of the opinion that the House will not sit during the period of 14 days after the day on which the event occurs,
the Minister or the Premier (as the case requires) must transmit the document to the Clerk of that House.
A document transmitted to the Clerk of a House is to be taken to have been laid before that House.
The laying of a document that is regarded as having occurred under subsection (2) is to be recorded in the Minutes, or Votes and Proceedings, of the House on the first sitting day of the House after the Clerk received the copy.
