Full textAbstract:
The Montana Office of Public Instruction, Special Education Division, initiated its state Comprehensive System of Personnel Development (CSPD) Council 15 years ago in compliance with Public Law 94–142, The Education of All Handicapped Children Act. The state council has remained active and has become stronger from its beginning to the present time. Because of the large geography of the state and diversity of needs across the state, however, the state council was somewhat limited and fragmented in meeting personnel development needs. Consequently, the state council implemented a CSPD regionalization concept based on the five existing Developmental Disabilities Planning and Advisory Council (DDPAC) and Montana Council of Administrators of Special Education (MCASE) regions. The purpose of this article is to report on strategies and activities of regional CSPD actions in Montana. The regional model holds promise for replication as a framework of personnel development in other large rural states. This information is represented within the context of the recently enacted amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act through the provisions of Public Law 105–17.

The Importance of the Projected Amendment of the Polish Act on Informatization to the Act on Administrative Court ProceedingsSummaryMost of the regulations of the polish Act on Informatization of public tasks performed by public organizations passed on 17 February 2005 came into force on 21 July 2005. After almost 4 years some institutions proved to be unsuccessful or did not work as intended. Also fast development of new technologies required amendment of the Act.On 17th June 2009 Governmental project on amendment of the Act on Informatization of pubic tasks performed by public organizations, Administrative Proceedings Code, Tax Ordinance Act and some other acts was sent to Sejm Marshall.Administrative Proceedings Code unlike the Act on Administrative Court Proceedings accepts electronic documents that are electronically signed. Pursuant to Art. 5 section 2 polish Act on Electronic Signature and Art. 78 § 2 Civil Code, qualified electronic signature equals to autograph signature. This confuses parties who have problems with understanding why their pleadings signed with qualified electronic signatures are not accepted by the administrative court. Act on Informatization does not apply on administrative courts now but the project on Amendment of the Act on Informatization passed on 8 January 2010 would oblige them to accept electronic documents in litigation. The Article presents how exactly administrative courts justify not accepting electronic documents now and how it would change when the Amendment of the Act should come into force. Apart from characterizing Supreme Administrative Court’s rulings, this article concentrates on the influence of the Amendment of the Act on Informatization over the Act on Administrative Court Proceedings.

The amendment to the Public Finance Act (adding Article 54a) and to the Act on the responsibility for a breach of public finance discipline of 2017, introduced the possibility of concluding a settlement regarding the disputed civil law liabilities by entities of the public finance sector. Execution of a lawful settlement will not constitute a violation of public finance discipline. Until the amendment came into force, the pursuit of claims by the public finance sector entities was possible only in court. Currently it is also possible in mediation proceedings.

Today, the advent of social media has provided a platform for expressing opinions regarding legislation and public schemes. One such burning legislation introduced in India is the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and its impact on the National Citizenship Register (NRC) and, subsequently, on the National Population Register (NPR). This study examines and determines the opinions expressed on social media regarding the act through a Twitter analysis approach that extracts nearly 18,000 tweets during 10 days of introducing the scheme. The analysis revealed that the opinion was neutral but tended to a more negative reaction. Consequently, recommendations on improving public perception about the scheme by suitable for interpreting the Act to the public are provided in the paper.

Abstract Robert Natelson recently published his article, The Founders’ Origination Clause and Implications for the Affordable Care Act, in the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy. This article argued the original understanding of the scope of the Senate’s power to amend the House of Representatives’ bills for raising revenue in the Origination Clause permits complete substitutes that are new bills for raising revenue, such as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). The original understanding of a constitutional word or provision is what the ratifiers of the Constitution thought was the meaning of the word or provision. When the Senate originated PPACA as an amendment to the House’s Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009, the Senate replaced the entire House bill, except for the bill’s number, with PPACA. I consider the original public meaning—not the original understanding—of a constitutional word or provision, unless unrecoverable, to be the controlling meaning of that word or provision. The original public meaning is the meaning that a “reasonable speaker of English” during the founding era would have ascribed to the word or provision. My article argues the original public meaning of amendment is clear and disallows complete substitutes. For instance, founding-era dictionaries indicate an amendment was a change or alteration to something that transformed the thing from bad to better. This definition suggests an amendment must not be a complete substitute because an amendment must preserve at least a part of the thing being amended so that there is something to transform from bad to better. My article further argues the preponderance of evidence suggests the original understanding of the scope of an amendment actually disallows complete substitutes. For example, much evidence from the Philadelphia Convention, Confederation Congress, state legislatures, and state conventions suggests the dominant view among the founders was that an amendment to the Articles of Confederation, the legal compact between 13 states enacted in 1781, could not be a complete substitute. My conclusion argues PPACA or any other such complete substitute violates the original public meaning of the scope of an amendment.

Full textAbstract:
The Tunney Act and its 2004 Amendment have sought to eliminate judicial rubber-stamping of antitrust consent decrees. Congress sought to assure meaningful judicial review of consent decrees to assure they were in the public interest. The caselaw in the D.C. Circuit undermines the purpose, intent, and plain meaning of the Tunney Act by arguing that such review would present separation of powers issues, an argument at best disingenuous in light of other settlements readily rejected within the Circuit. The Article commences with a review of the legislative history of the original Tunney Act. The article next examines the D.C. Circuit cases against that the drafters of the Amendment to the Tunney Act are rebelling. This legislative history is highlighted and extended in the legislative history of the 2004 TunneyAct Amendment. The article next describes how D.C. district courts uniformly ignore and dismiss the Congressional intent behind the 2004 Amendment under the auspices of prosecutorial discretion. Finally, the Article tackles the (false) problem of separation of powers the D.C. Circuit case law presents and proposes a solution to this deadlock that is true to the original intent of the Tunney Act.

The article contains an analysis of selected provisions of the Act on enforcement proceedings in administration after the amendment in 2019. Administrative enforcement proceedings and administrative enforcement that is an integral part thereof are a type of procedures that should follow certain general principles. These principles were formulated by the legislator, as well as legal solutions that were to be an expression of their implementation. According to the author, the amendment to the Act on enforcement proceedings in administration of 2019 has significantly changed the course of enforcement proceedings, resulting in a new model for shaping this administrative procedure.

Full textAbstract:
The author of the article has stipulates that public relations in the field of labor protection and public health are the generic object of an administrative offense under the Art. 443 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses. The legislator has formed a generic object out of two relatively independent parts: 1) public relations on labor protection and 2) public relations on public health. The direct object of an administrative offense under the Art. 433 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses can be defined as public relations to protect the population from infectious diseases and ensuring its sanitary and epidemic well-being. The author has established the content of a socially dangerous act, which stipulates administrative liability under the Art. 433 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses: 1) violation of the rules provided by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine “On the prevention of the spread of an acute respiratory disease COVID-19 caused by the corona virus SARS-CoV-2 on the territory of Ukraine” dated from March 11, 2020 No. 211; 2) violation of the requirements of regulatory acts (orders, instructions, rules, regulations, etc.) of the Ministry of Health, which establish sanitary-hygienic and sanitary-anti-epidemic rules. The author has established the competition of norms of the Art. 42 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses and the Art. 433 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses according to the object and socially dangerous act; the author has suggested legislative amendments related to the elimination of the specified collision by the disapplication of the Art. 42 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses.
In the course of the research of objective features of administrative offenses provided by the Art. 433 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses, the author has substantiated the need and has provided propositions for legislative amendments to delimit the powers of the National Police of Ukraine, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection, and local self-government agencies in Ukraine in the sphere of counteracting violations of sequestration rules, sanitary and hygienic, sanitary and anti-epidemic rules and norms.

This contribution deals with recent developments in sexual offences against children with reference to sections in the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act 32 of 2007. The latter is addressed against the backdrop of the Constitutional Court judgments in Teddybear Clinic for Abused Children and Another v Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development and Another 2014 (1) SACR) 327 (CC) and J v National Director of Public Prosecutions 2014 (2) SACR (CC). These two judgments had a profound impact in terms of shaping newly formulated sexual offences in line with constitutional principles ultimately culminating in the enactment and commencement of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act 5 of 2015. The approach by the Constitutional Court in both of the abovementioned judgments is discussed and assessed. An analysis is provided of the Amendment Act with specific reference to its impact on sexual offences against children.

Full textAbstract:
This paper considers the impact of the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000. It focuses on the kind of situation presented by the Stephen Lawrence murder investigation where racist stereotypes and assumptions infect both police inquiries into serious violent crime and the treatment of victims or their families. It first demonstrates the limited scope of individual redress available prior to the Act in such situations (examining police complaints mechanisms, private prosecutions, misfeasance in public office, judicial review and negligence). It links limitations in the scope of individual redress to a traditional priority accorded to public interests. The Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 gives individuals a general right to sue the police for racial discrimination in investigations. It is argued that a similar right probably now exists – at least in the context of life-threatening violence – under the Human Rights Act 1998. These developments seem to signal a shift in the balance between individual rights and the limiting claims of public interests. But the singularity of the 2000 Act is that, in introducing the mechanisms and logic of anti-discrimination law into the criminal process, it creates the potential for a more interactive relationship between individual complaint and the public interest in the collective promotion of change.

Full textAbstract:
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) can impose significant limitations on what landowners may do with their property, especially as it pertains to development. These restrictions imposed by the ESA are part of a larger controversy about the reach of the “Takings Clause” of the Fifth Amendment, which says that private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation. The question this paper addresses is whether these restrictions require compensation. The paper develops a position on the general question of compensation for regulatory takings and applies it to the ESA. The main argument concludes that compensation should be paid. It is based on the proposition that the goods provided by regulatory takings are typically public goods, and on a principle of fairness, which holds that compensation should be paid when those who benefit from a regulatory taking pay virtually nothing and those who pay receive hardly any benefit. It is argued that this principle is implicit in many of the Court's rulings on regulatory takings.

Full textAbstract:
The Public Policy doctrine is an unruly horse in India, when it comes to the enforcement of domestic and foreign awards. The main objective behind choosing this topic was to shed light on how public policy has been used by the losing party, in delaying the enforcement of arbitral award, which hampers the whole objective of arbitration. Though one may argue that the 2015 Amendment Act has settled all the controversies regarding public policy and enforcement of arbitral award, the author is of the opinion that there are still some areas that are left unexplored by the Arbitration Amendment Act. The paper primarily focuses on the changing trend of public policy with respect to arbitration in India. In addition, the author has compared the doctrine of public policy in India with that of countries such as France, Russia, United Kingdom and U.SA. The most important contribution of this research paper is that it analyses the validity of patent illegality in domestic arbitration.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeThrough a political genealogy, the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the institutionalisation of the so-called “secular principle” in NSW state schools in the late-nineteenth century, which is commonly assumed to be a historical moment when religious neutrality was enshrined in public education, was overdetermined by the politics of racialisation and ethno-nationalism.Design/methodology/approachThe historiographical method used here is labelled “political genealogy”. This approach foregrounds how every social order and norm is contingent on political struggles that have shaped its form over time. This includes foregrounding the acts of exclusion that constitute any social order and norm.FindingsThe secular principle institutionalised in the NSW Public Instruction Act of 1880, far from being the “neutral” solution to sectarian conflict, was in fact a product of anti-Catholic sentiment fuelled by the racialisation of Irish Catholicism and ethno-nationalist anxieties about its presence in the colony.Originality/valueThis paper makes clear that “the secular” in secular schooling is neither a product of historical and moral “progress” from a more “primitive” state to a more progressive one, nor a principle of neutrality that stands outside of particular historical and political relations of power. Thus, it encourages a more pragmatic and supple understanding of “the secular” in education. It also invites both advocates and critics of secular education to adapt their arguments based on changing historical circumstances, and to justify the exclusions that such arguments imply without recourse to transcendent principles.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper the author examines New Zealand's international obligations regarding the detention of Refugees and how these are implemented domestically. Article 31 of the Refugee Convention 1951 states that their detention is only permissible where necessary, and related documents outline these circumstances. The Convention contains an appropriate balance between the special needs of refugees and respect for national security, which unfortunately is not always present in our domestic legislation.Section 128(5) of the Immigration Act 1987 allows refugees to be detained. However, this is subject to the requirements of the Convention due to section 129X(2) of the Act. The Court of Appeal in the Refugee Council case1 decided that an operational instruction issued after September 11, and coinciding with a significant increase in the numbers detained, was not unlawful. The author argues that the balance has swung too far in favour of national security, but concedes that the Immigration Amendment Act 2002 has gone some way to rectify the situation by providing conditional release procedures.

Full textAbstract:
Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission of the Executive Yuan promulgated the fully amended Certified Public Accountant Act in 2007, which directly led to significant changes in accounting law. From the perspective of the economic theory of law, this study investigates the amendment of the Certified Public Accountant Act resulting in an increase or decrease in the overall revenue and different revenue shares of accounting firms, and puts forward measures that should be taken by accounting firms and stakeholders. We focus on large accounting firms and divide the sample period into before and after 2008. This study uses the translog revenue function and revenue share functions of the public accounting industry, and based on the 1989–2017 Survey Report of Audit Firms in Taiwan, and we find that the amendment of the Certified Public Accountant Act has had a positive effect on overall revenue, increasing overall revenue and the overall management advisory services shares, and in reducing the overall accounting and auditing shares and tax services shares of large accounting firms. Additional analyses provide regulators with public policy implications and provide accounting firms with managerial information.

Abstract After years of mainly expert discussions (not only in the Slovak legal environment), the concept of and legislation on re-export offer a sort of solution provided for in the Act no. 306/2016 Coll. Said act amends the key legislation in this field, namely the Act no. 362/2011 Coll. on Medicinal Products and Medical Devices and on the amendment of certain acts, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the “Act on Medicinal Products”) and the Act no. 363/2011 Coll. on the Scope and Conditions of Payments for Medicinal Products, Medical Devices and Dietetic Foods from Public Health Insurance and on the amendment of certain acts, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the “Act on Payments”). The topic of the paper belongs in the area of medicinal products and pharmaceutical services, it offers, however, significant overlaps in the area of the constitutional, administrative and European law and is aimed at multidisciplinary research into the issue of the reverse export (re-export) of medicinal products. Besides these laws, also the Constitution of the Slovak Republic (“SR”) and the sources of the European Law have to be taken into account in relation to the subject in question. The main aim of legislation in this area of law was restriction on the re-export of selected products and protection of patients from adverse impacts of such business activity. The aim of the paper is the authors’ effort to analyse the issue of the re-export of medicinal products within the context of the adopted Act no. 306/2016 Coll., whose legislative solution is inevitable for the protection of life and health of the population of the Slovak Republic.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractDrawing on and expanding previous graduate course research, this paper investigated and analyzed public libraries’ policies regarding patron use of legal, visual Internet pornography on public computers. Pornographic imagery that falls within legal boundaries is protected by the First Amendment. Incidents of, and library responses to, pornography viewing are not a new issue and have caused turmoil across the field of library and information science. In an attempt to understand the problem, the research question asks: how do public libraries respond to patrons viewing legal Internet pornography, while upholding First Amendment rights as well as the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and other legal requirements? Libraries tread a fine line to protect First Amendment rights, respect community laws, and uphold CIPA. Research indicated that responding to Internet pornography use in public libraries is heavily dependent on individual, community and library values. Policies are more likely to prohibit patrons from accessing Internet pornography, and most libraries have at least some Internet filtering software restricting what content may be accessed on public use computers. However, evidence also suggests that regardless of policy or filters, library staff will at some point encounter a patron accessing Internet pornography.

According to recent surveys 80% of the primary, 90% of intermediate grade teachers, and 50% of all teachers base their instruction upon a single textbook; almost all questions arise from information in the textbook and most center on terminology; the common pattern of science instruction is assign, recite, test, and discuss the test, all based upon the textbook. The result of such instruction is that students demonstrate poor science achievement (both in terms of discipline specific knowledge and in terms of an ability to think and act in a scientific way) and poor attitudes towards science. In contrast, a number of excellent science K-12 programs have been developed in this country during the past 10-20 years and when used properly, achievement and attitude gains are considerable. Regrettably our system of district level control makes implementation of these superior programs difficult.

Full textAbstract:
The increasing ferocity and frequency of violence against Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) led to the enactment of the SCs/STs (Prevention of Atrocities) Act 1989. The law now forbade the practice of untouchability thus protecting marginalised communities against all forms of social injustice and exploitation. However, the ensuing years revealed many deficiencies in the Act and its enforcement leading to a demand to strengthen it. Subsequently, the SCs and STs Amendment Ordinance was issued in March 2014, followed by the enactment of the SCs and STs (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Act 2015 that came into force in January 2016. However, barely two years later, the Supreme Court, proceeding on the assumption that there was rampant abuse of the law by SCs/STs struck a crippling blow to the legislation. In oder to protect public servants from being falsely implicated in cases under the Act, the Supreme Court, in a recent ruling (Dr Subhash K. Mahajan vs. State of Maharashtra) introduced procedural safeguards of such a fundamental nature that the law has been virtually rewritten and will profoundly impact the dalit’s fight for social equality and justice.

Full textAbstract:
The term “tax act” is used in the Standing Orders of the Sejm in the substantive sense and refers to a public levy having the features of a tax, i.e. a pecuniary, compulsory, non-returnable and nonequivalent payment imposed by law and constituting budgetary revenue of the State Treasury or local government units of general purpose. The author points out that it is irrelevant for the qualification of a bill as a “tax bill” what name the bill uses to denote a public levy, if it bears the features of a tax. The title of a tax bill also refers to the bill that repeals or modifies the scope of a tax obligation or its elements. The author concludes that any tax act amendment bill meets the characteristics of the term “tax act”, and the scope of the term “tax act” does not include public tributes other than taxes.

Right to fair trial is considered as the basic right affirmed by Islam and recognised by different international documents i.e., ICCPR, UDHR, etc. In Pakistan, the notion of fair trial has been incorporated through Article 10-A through 18th constitutional amendment. The two amendments were made in the US Constitution in 18th and 19th century i.e., 6th and 14th amendments which safeguards right to speedy trial, impartial jury, public trial and equal protection of law. The Investigation for Fair Trial Act, 2013, permits the use of new methods in collection of evidence and also bridles arbitrary powers from being used. However, being dissimilar to the essence of the Constitution, 21st Amendment was made to adopt Pakistan Army Act, 2015 in order to control the extremism. The key purpose of the article is to assess how far the efforts for the enforcement of right to fair trial in Pakistan are sufficient?

On the same day that the United States Supreme Court handed down its much anticipated decisions on affirmative action in higher education, holding that the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution permits a degree of race-consciousness in public university admissions, it also issued a far less heralded decision with implications for the ability of the states to address historical injustice. In American Insurance Association v. Garamendi (Garamendi), five members of the Court, led by Justice Souter, found that California's Holocaust Victim Insurance Relief Act of 1999 (HVIRA) “interferes with the National Government's conduct of foreign relations” and is therefore preempted.

Full textAbstract:
In Alberta, automobile insurers are required to indemnify an insured up to policy limits for injury or property damage to third parties for which the insured is liable. Prior to 1 June 1982, insurers could demand reimbursement for third party liability payments if the insured driver caused loss while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. However, the Insurance Amendment Act removed the right of insurers to recover these sums. This article evaluates this amendment by considering its impact on the public policy objectives ordinarily associated with subrogation, and argues that, compared to the previous approach, Alberta’s current system of third party liability coverage better serves the objectives of subrogation.

Full textAbstract:
The inchoate crime of direct and public incitement to commit genocide was first recognised under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948). The creation of the crime was a direct result of the horrific effects of acts of incitement before and during the Second World War. Today the crime is firmly established under international law and is also criminalised in many domestic legal systems. History shows that incitement to crime and violence against a specific group is a precursor to and catalyst for acts of genocide. Consequently, the goal of prevention lies at the core of the prohibition of direct and public incitement to genocide. However, it may be said that this preventative objective has thus far been undermined by a general lack of prosecutions of the crime, especially at the domestic level. This prosecutorial void is rather conspicuous in the light of the new vision of international criminal justice under which domestic legal systems (including that of South Africa) bear the primary responsibility for the enforcement of the law of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (Rome Statute), which in Article 25(3)(e) includes the crime of direct and public incitement to commit genocide. This article provides a brief historical and teleological overview of the crime of direct and public incitement to commit genocide under international law, as well as the definitional elements thereof as interpreted and applied by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). Thereafter it examines the criminalisation of incitement to genocide in contemporary South African law in order to assess South Africa’s capacity to prosecute incitement to genocide at the domestic level. In this regard there are, in theory, various 'legal avenues' for the prosecution of incitement to commit genocide in South Africa, namely: as a crime under the Riotous Assemblies Act 17 of 1956; as a crime under the Implementation of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court Act 27 of 2002 (the ICC Act); or as a crime under customary international law pursuant to section 232 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996. The article reflects critically on the viability of prosecuting incitement to genocide in terms of each of these alternatives. The article highlights a number of practical and legal problems as regards the prosecution of incitement to commit genocide under the Riotous Assemblies Act as well as under customary international law. It is argued that the prosecution of incitement to genocide in terms of the ICC Act is preferable, as this would respond directly to an international consensus as regards the unique and egregious nature of genocide by providing for a limited form of extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction. Prosecution under the ICC Act would also reflect the objectives of the Rome Statute pursuant to which South Africa has certain international legal obligations. However, it is submitted that legislative amendment of the ICC Act is needed, since the crime is not explicitly provided for thereby at present. It is submitted that the legislative amendment must provide for the distinct crime of direct and public incitement to genocide in terms of South African criminal law. Such an amendment will remove the existing legal obstacles to the domestic prosecution of incitement to genocide and enable effective prosecution thereof at the domestic level. The proposed amendment will have the effect of strengthening the alignment between South African law and the objectives of the Rome Statute and may have preventative benefits in the long run.

Full textAbstract:
This article provides an up-to-date and comprehensive canvassing of the judicial case law concerning the responses to students with concussions in the public school context. The two categories of court decisions are (a) those concerning continued participation in interscholastic athletics, referred to under the rubric of "return to play” and (b) those concerning the legal obligations in facilitating the continued educational progress of the student, referred to under the rubric of "return to school." The case law in the first category primarily addresses state common law claims of negligence and federal constitutional claims under the Fourteenth Amendment due process clause. The court decisions in the second category primarily address the successive issues of child find, eligibility, and "free appropriate public education" (including but not necessarily limited to accommodations) under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The outcomes of the court decisions thus far have been largely in favor of the district defendants, but the case law is far from crystallized and complete.

The study will showcase how FP promotes disrespect for a good corporate culture inevitable for responsible and sustained business and as to why FP must be abolished to make the Australian regulation consistent with the international standards. Design/methodology/approach This research is based on primary and secondary sources including the Senate Committee Reports and recent legislative developments in Australia, and the relevant law of the UK. Findings Australia is lagging far behind comparative jurisdictions including the UK, and the FP defence must be abolished to make the Australian regulation consistent with the international standards and to foster international business backed up by globalisation, competition and interconnectedness of national economies.

The relationship between religious experience and alternative states of consciousness is as old as humanity itself. From time immemorial, visionary states have been entered through the ritual use of mind-changing substances. Despite the uncontrovertedfact that particular substances have been used for thousands of years to achieve religious experiences and insights, the federal drug laws fail to accommodate religiously motivated users. The purpose of this article is to present a model from which such a nonsectarian accommodation may be developed, while retaining the federal scheme for the strict control of drugs.

The Act of 21 November 1996 on museums, which has been in force for over 20 years (Journal of Laws of 2017, item 972, as amended), has been amended dozen or more times. Seven of these amendments entered into force in the last two years (2016–2017). They were to a large extent of adjustment character, and concerned inter alia the competence requirements for museum professionals (Journal of Laws of 2017, item 60), removals of museum exhibits from museum inventory (Journal of Laws of 2016, item 1330, and of 2017, item 1086) and the Council of Museums being replaced by the Council of Museums and Memorial Sites (Journal of Laws of 2016, item 749). Amendments concerning the admission charges in museums were of systemic character (Journal of Laws of 2017, item 132) as well as the restitution amendments introduced in Article 57 of the Act of 25 May 2017 on restitution of the national cultural goods, including a new penal provision added to the Act on museums (Art. 34.a in a new chapter 5.a – Journal of Laws of 2017, item 1086). Apart from amendments described in this article, others ought to be mentioned – related to an informative aspect. In this context, the amendments to the Act on museums being in force since 16 June 2016, provided for in Article 29 of the Act of 25 February 2016 on the re-use of public sector information (Journal of Laws of 2016, item 352, as amended) are of great significance. References to this Act can be found in section 4 of Art. 25 and section 4 of Art. 25.a of the Act on museums, added by this amendment, which regulate introducing and charging fees for museum exhibits being prepared and made accessible for different from usual purposes, and for permitting to use their images. Article 31.a of the Act on museums added by this amendment has been repealed by the Art. 34 of the Act of 10 June 2016 on delegating customer services to employees (Journal of Laws of 2017, item 132). The latter Act added Article 30.a of the Act on museums, related in its contents to this regulation. It states that the access to information for safeguarding museum exhibits is limited for the sake of protection from fire, theft and other type of danger which could bring damage or loss of the museum collection.

Abstract The safeguards of federalism provide state officials with several tools as they try to influence national policy and protect their interests. State legislative challenges to the national government have been widespread recently, yet little is known about their origins. Are they derived from model legislation provided by interest groups, the result of state-to-state emulation, or developed independently by individual states? This article uses plagiarism detection software to offer a preliminary answer to this question. Our analysis suggests that state officials only occasionally rely on model legislation in drafting resistance measures. It also identifies variation across issues. External sources seem to have the greatest impact on legislation resisting gun control, a more modest influence on challenges to the Affordable Care Act, and a minimal effect on state-level responses to Common Core. The article further analyzes these dynamics by examining specific examples of textual overlap among resistance bills in each issue area.

Abstract This policy study explores origins of part 6.1 of Bill 34 (School Amendment Act, 2002) and its impacts on the institutional behaviour of two public school districts in British Columbia. Part 6.1 permits school districts to raise funds through for-profit school district business companies (SDBC). The analysis found several consequences of the policy: lack of accountability of SDBCs, increased fiscal inequity among school districts, and greater responsiveness of school districts to the needs of a globally rather than locally situated community of students.

Full textAbstract:
In 1995 a series of federal court decisions called into question the efficacy of race-based preferential treatment programs initiated by two leading public universities.1 Both decisions occurred at a time when government-imposed, race-conscious remedial measures are being increasingly challenged on the grounds that they either violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964,2 or breach the guarantee of equal protection under the laws provided by the Fourteenth Amendment. Most recently, a federally mandated race-based preference was successfully challenged on the grounds that it violated an “implied” equal protection clause in the Fifth Amendment.3 As a further indication of this shift away from state supported racial preferences, legislation is pending in Congress4 that, if enacted, would make the consideration of any individual's race, color, national origin or gender in regard to selection or eligibility for any federal program unlawful.
