The main purpose of the Civil Service Regulation and Public Service Management (Amendment) Bill is to amend the Civil Service Regulation Acts 1956-2005 and the Public Service Management Act 1997 to provide that disciplinary action up to and including dismissal in the Civil Service can be assigned below the level of the head of the organisation (Appropriate Authority) and other miscellaneous amendments to modernise the legislation based on the General Scheme. Further amendment of the General Scheme was approved by Government on 5 March, 2024 to establish a Senior Post Remuneration Committee and certain terms and conditions for Secretaries General.

My Department are working towards the publication of the Statute Law Revision Bill as part of the autumn legislative programme. The General Scheme has been prepared and the drafting of the Bill is ongoing with Office of Parliamentary Counsel.
