House of Assembly of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Reports, establishes nothing

Parliament's own record. Publishes, for every year from 1993 to 2025, a table of every Act passed: long title, short title, dates of first reading, second and third readings, assent, publication and proclamation, and the Act number. Also publishes the Saint Vincent Constitution Order 1979. This table is the only published index of Vincentian legislation and is what establishes that an Act exists, what it amends, which Chapter it belongs to and exactly when it came into force.

Describes what others have done. Useful as a signal that something has moved, never as proof that it has.

Cannot be cited for

It must never be cited for what an Act says. It carries no text of any Act and never has. It must not be cited for anything before 1993, where its record begins, nor for 2026, for which no table has yet been posted - use the Gazette's weekly legislation notices for that. The proclamation column is empty for almost every Act, which means a proclamation is not recorded, not that commencement did not happen; where it is filled, as for Act No. 22 of 2011, it is reliable. Extraction of the date columns is unreliable: the 2006, 2011 and 2024 tables render some dates as formulas and the 2025 table uses full-width commas, so a date quoted from them should be checked against the PDF. The Constitution Order it publishes is a 21-page scan with no text layer.

Publication rhythm

One PDF per calendar year, posted after the year ends and sometimes much later. The 2025 table was available in 2026; no 2026 table exists yet.
