implications. The key dates in this process include the adoption, assent, and commencement of
an Act.
1. Adoption (5 April 1996) – This refers to the approval of the Act by the legislative body
(such as Parliament). At this stage, the Bill has been debated and passed by the legislature
but is not yet law.
2. Assent (10 April 1996) – Once the Bill has been adopted by the legislature, it is sent to
the President for approval. Assent means the President has formally agreed to the law by
signing it. However, this does not mean that the Act is immediately enforceable. It only
signifies that the Act has been approved and is now officially recognized as law.
