A schedule should be completed for every piece of legislation intended for the session. Schedules should be returned no later than Friday, 18 December 2009.
In order to ensure the passage of legislation through the Parliament, the deadlines for the receipt of Cabinet Minutes and introduction of Bills for the 2010 Budget Sittings of Parliament are as follows:

- all Bills must be approved by Cabinet or the Cabinet Standing Committee on Legislation no later than the week commencing Monday, 31 May 2010for introduction into the Parliament.
Matters received after this time will not be included in the parliamentary program for the Budget Sittings unless Ministers can make out a case for urgency and gain the formal approval of the Premier.
Ministers are required to instruct agencies under their administration to provide drafting instructions to the Parliamentary Counsel's Office within five working days of Cabinet's in-principle approval.
