Permanent Legislation Committees
During the course of the Third Assembly, five permanent Legislation Committees have been established. Each Committee has 5 Members, plus a non-voting Chair.
The role of a Legislation Committee is to consider any items of legislation which is referred to them by the Business Committee. The Business Committee also sets the timetable for the Committees to undertake their work.
Constitutional Affairs Committee
The Constitutional Affairs Committee ( formerly the Subordinate Legislation Committee) considers the technical aspects of all statutory instruments or draft statutory instruments made by the Welsh Ministers and to report on whether the Assembly should pay special attention to the instruments or draft on any of the grounds set out in Standing Order 15.2. The Committee may also undertake scrutiny of Assembly Measures without questioning the policy itself. Additionally, the Committee may report on the matters set out in Standing Order 15.3 or15.6.

Ad Hoc Committees
Prior to the establishment of the permanent Legislatiion Committees, ad hoc Legislation Committees were established for the purpose of conducting detailed consideration of a specific legislative proposal (either a Legislative Competence Order or an Assembly Measure). Once an ad hoc Legislation Committee concluded its consideration of a Legislative Competence Order or an Assembly Measure, it ceased to exist.
