Australian Constitution

List of enacting formulae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The simplest enacting formulae merely cite the legislature by which the law has been adopted, for example the formula used in Australia since 1990 is "The Parliament of Australia enacts". Parliament of the Bahamas: "Enacted by the Parliament of The Bahamas." Parliament of Tuvalu: "ENACTED by the Parliament of Tuvalu-" en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Enacting_formula   (2327 words)

The 'Single Sales Factor' Formula For State Corporate Taxes - rev 9/1/01 By creating a situation in which apportionment formulas are not uniform among the states, multistate corporations can minimize their aggregate tax liability for all the states in which they do business by ensuring that the tax cuts they receive in some states are not offset by tax increases in other states. Massachusetts enacted the sales-only formula in response to a threat by the Raytheon Company — a major defense contractor and the state’s largest industrial employer — to close plants in the state unless it were granted substantial tax relief. The change from a property-payroll-sales formula to a sales-only formula substantially reduces the corporate tax burden of businesses that arguably are benefiting the most from public services in a state and unfairly shifts the tax burden to out-of-state businesses that benefit from state services to a lesser extent. www.cbpp.org /3-27-01sfp.htm   (6010 words)

May 2003 - FAMILY LAW Osburn, 114 Nev. 1367, 970 P.2d 1071 (1998), held that where parties equally share custody of their children, the child support formula under NRS Chapter 125B is to be applied to the income of each, with the richer parent to pay the other the difference between the two amounts. Once the word gets out that an excessive, judicially-imposed formula is going to be unexceptionably applied to the joint custodian with the greater income, I fear that it will deter parents from entering into joint custody arrangements. I disfavor the court's enacting a percentage formula of this kind because to do so properly involves taking into account many difficult social issues and policy-setting functions, functions that can be suitably carried out only by the legislative branch of government. www.wcbar.org /familylaw/May03.html   (683 words)

LLLI | A Look at Enacting Breastfeeding Legislation A sensible alternative to setting forth a right to breastfeed, would be to enact a simple law that states "Breastfeeding is an important and basic act of nurture that must be encouraged in the interests of maternal and child health". Conversely, formula feeding should be thought of as a high cost health degenerator for mothers, babies and society. Minnesota recently enacted the most progressive legislation so far, in that employers there are required to provide mothers with reasonable unpaid break time to express milk and a room or other location (other than a toilet stall) to express in privacy. www.lalecheleague.org /Law/LawEnact.html   (4410 words)

PARLIAMENT: The Quality & Nature of LEGAL Government At that Parliament, the Statute of Westminster I was enacted with the assent of the archbishops, bishops, abbots, priors, earls, barons, and the commonalty of the land; and the customs duties on wool, woolfells, and leather were granted to the king. In that century, and in the early years of the 15th century, the law was framed and enacted by the king in council; but later in the 15th century this was found inconvenient, and the petition, or bill in the form of an act, became common. All modern statutes contain an appropriate enacting formula, indicating that the act in question has been enacted by the sovereign with the assent of Lords and Commons (or, where passed under the Parliament acts, of the Commons alone in accordance with those acts); and this is sufficient to make the acts unchallengeable. www.worldfreeinternet.net /archive/arc17.htm   (11028 words)

H.R. 2493, Forage Improvement Act of 1997   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) Because a portion of that income is shared with state governments, CBO estimates that enacting the bill would result in a net decrease in direct spending of about $6 million over the 1998-2002 period. For purposes of this estimate, CBO assumes that the bill would be enacted in time to implement the new fee for the 1998 grazing year, which begins March 1, 1998. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2493 would increase payments to states by about $400,000 a year beginning in fiscal year 1999 and by a total of almost $2 million over the 1998-2002 period. www.cbo.gov /showdoc.cfm?index=111&sequence=0   (1573 words)

H.R. 2493, Forage Improvement Act of 1997   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) CBO estimates that the new formula would increase the amount of grazing fee receipts that would be collected over the next five years compared to current law. We estimate that implementing the formula contained in H.R. 2493 would yield an average increase in offsetting receipts of almost $3 million annually beginning in fiscal year 1999, taking into account the reduced volume of grazing that would result from the higher fee. CBO expects that enacting this provision could increase receipts, but because BLM does not track whether permits are foreign-owned or controlled, we cannot estimate the magnitude of any increase based on current permits. www.cbo.gov /showdoc.cfm?index=771&sequence=0   (1608 words)

Ohio's School Funding System -- Fair and Adequate? All local taxes enacted go completely to the local school district for which they are enacted. The amount is determined by enacting a "formula amount" for calculating "basic state aid" per pupil and enacting unit funding amounts for "categorical aid" (special education, transportation, etc.). The "basic aid" formula amount is multiplied by the number of students in the district to establish a funding pool. home.fuse.net /FixOhioSchoolFunding/osf/osf-currentsystem&problems.htm   (1335 words)

[No title] The Illinois legislature created exceptions to the general three-factor formula by enacting sections 304(b), (c), and (d) of the IITA, which apportioned certain business income under a special one- factor formula. We are persuaded that the legislature's purpose in enacting section 304 was to create a special apportionment formula for specific industries. Finally, we turn to Texaco's argument that application of the one-factor formula violates due process, because the resultant tax "would not be rationally related to the values generated from activities within the State." Texaco failed to present this argument before the ALJ, raising it for the first time in the trial court. www.state.il.us /COURT/Opinions/AppellateCourt/1997/1stDistrict/January/HTML/1951022.txt   (1831 words)

seMissourian.com: Story: School funding plans have short shelf life The proposed formula aims to distribute funds based on what it costs to adequately educate students in a given district and greatly reduces the influence of property values. If the proposed formula is fully funded through the 2012-2013 school term, the final year of the phase-in, total state aid to local schools would increase by an estimated $940 million. Full funding, however, is whatever the formula says it is. Most lawmakers agree the growth called for by the current formula isn't realistic. www.semissourian.com /story/162037.html   (990 words)

frelinghuysen.house.gov   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) We argued that the federal state-by-state homeland security funding formula must be changed so that funding and resources can be sent to where they are needed most. We said the formula must be changed and based strictly on threat assessment, critical infrastructure and population density so that states like New Jersey and other high-threat areas receive the funding they deserve and need to protect their communities. The remaining 60% is distributed strictly on a population based formula, with no consideration for vulnerability or population density. frelinghuysen.house.gov /cgi-data/press/files/69.shtml   (886 words)

Regents Proposal on State Aid to School Districts for 2004-05 It proposes a Foundation Formula for the distribution of State Aid that assists school districts with the costs of general education instruction, to be phased in over a seven-year period. It would replace a complex system of many formulas that are the result of years of statutory adjustments, and which in fact have not been used in State Aid distributions for the past three years. Understanding the implications of the Foundation Formula for both general and special education may provide new opportunities for closing the achievement gap of students with disabilities. www.oms.nysed.gov /press/121103_reg_item.htm   (2840 words)

ACP-ASIM Observer, July-August 2002 - Policy briefs However, Dr. Walker wrote that the College is especially interested in a long-term solution: enacting legislation to develop a new formula for determining physician payments. The analysis also points out that including the cost of outpatient prescription drugs as an expenditure in the SGR formula further hurts physicians, and argues that those costs should be removed from the calculation. Correcting formula errors would reduce pending physician payment cuts, the College pointed out in a press release on the analysis. www.acponline.org /journals/news/jul-aug02/policybriefs.htm   (742 words)

REGINA v. DRYBONES Whether the imposition, under penal sanctions, of a certain standard of religious conduct on the whole population is desirable is, of course, a question for Parliament to decide. 2 of the Bill enacts a canon of construction or casts upon the Courts the task of removing therefrom, whenever the question is raised, every provision that may be considered as being in conflict with the enumer- ated rights and freedoms. It would be a radical departure from this basic British consti- tutional rule to enact that henceforth the Courts are to declare inoperative all enactments that are considered as not in con- formity with some legal principles stated in very general language, or rather merely enumerated without any definition. library2.usask.ca /native/cnlc/vol06/273.html   (6801 words)

Congressman F.James Sensenbrenner, Jr. The present formula regarding student loan interest rates is set to expire on July 1, 2003. When this formula expires, lenders (banks) have explained that they will not be able to finance student loans under the new formula because the return on student loans will potentially be less than their cost of funds on loans. Enacting this bill into law will ensure a strong and stable Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), and will provide students and families with the assurance that this important student aid program will be there to serve them. www.house.gov /sensenbrenner/wc20020124.htm   (395 words)

Medicare Physician Payment Given the political realities, and the inherent difficulty of quickly enacting needed reform, an interim adjustment is a reasonable approach that would ameliorate the damage of the physician payment updates for 2004 and 2005, while a permanent solution is developed. By enacting this two-year interim remedy, Congress provides ample opportunity to develop and enact a permanent correction of the physician payment update formula. AMGA recommends that once immediate relief is provided, Congress should develop and enact a new physician update formula that parallels the payment update calculation used for other Medicare services, such as hospital inpatient services. www.amga.org /PublicPolicy/Priorities/physicianPayment_pp.asp   (941 words)

kguest081099 As you know the education funding formula called SEEK, which stands for Support Educational Excellence in Kentucky, was designed to provide equity among all school districts in Kentucky. In response to the usual claim that the SEEK formula guarantees equality and that any district wanting to change it is simply trying to gain unfair advantage, I would point to the Kentucky Supreme Court decision which led to KERA. It would also seem that political forces were at work before the SEEK formula was written into law and that they insured their self interest was protected by enacting a formula that did not consider the disparity in revenue which would result from permissive taxes. www.kypost.com /opinion/kguest081099.html   (899 words)

1998_12 | NEWS: Medicare Payment Formula Triggers Specialists' Suit HCFA says the formula compensates all physicians more fairly, but specialists, who could lose upward of a billion dollars over three years under the plan, say the scheme is illegal.

According to the suit, the Balanced Budget Act, which provided for the change, specifically says that no more than $390 million can be transferred from specialist reimbursement over three years. www.managedcaremag.com /archives/9812/9812.news_formula.html   (178 words)

FormulaRetail.html A campaign to ban formula retail stores is also underway in the San Diego community of Ocean Beach, which is often compared with Venice. The measure, which has not yet been signed by the mayor but has enough support to override his potential veto, bans chains with more than 11 outlets and a standardized look from opening in the trendy-chic enclave of Hayes Valley. For example, the San Francisco ordinance defines formula retail stores as having more than 11 outlets and meeting two of any of the following criteria: standardized merchandise, a standardized facade or decor and color scheme, uniforms, standardized signage or a trademark or service mark. home.earthlink.net /~lburnslupc/FormulaRetail.html   (1700 words)

House of Representatives Practice Fifth Edition In the Constitution of the Commonwealth the old fiction that the occupant of the throne was the principal legislator, as expressed in the [United Kingdom] formula, has been disregarded; and the ancient enacting words will hereafter be replaced by words more in harmony with the practice and reality of constitutional government. The Queen, instead of being represented as the principal, or sole legislator, is now plainly stated [by section 1 of the Constitution] to be one of the co-ordinate constituents of the Parliament. While a schedule may be regarded as an appendix to a bill, it is nevertheless part of the bill, and is given legislative effect by a preceding clause (or clauses) within the bill. www.aph.gov.au /House/pubs/practice/Chapter10.htm   (13422 words)
