Legislation Committees from 1856
Legislation committees are a specific type of select committee, each one set up to consider a particular Bill. They usually only occur in the Legislative Assembly; although the Upper House occasionally appoints select committees into Bills, they are not called legislation committees.
Legislation Committees were introduced during the 50th Parliament (1991 - 1994), as part of the 'Memorandum of Agreement' between the minority Government and the three Independents. They are, in effect, select committees on particular Bills before the House.
