These guidelines set out key objectives, including the streamlining of the process for issuing and
reviewing legislation through clear and effective procedures that align with the emirate’s strategic
plan.

They are also aimed at

developing a sustainable legislative system that addresses legal requirements and adapts to likely
changes going into the future, while ensuring alignment with the UAE Constitution and the
applicable federal and local laws in Dubai.

The guidelines also focus on regulating the relationship between the Committee, its General
Secretariat, and local, federal, regional, and international government bodies involved in shaping
legislation and agreements. Additionally, they ensure the consistent and effective application of
laws in Dubai, supporting fulfilment of the intended legislative objectives.

Law No. (14) of 2024 replaces Decree No. (23) of 2014 and Executive Council Resolution No. (12) of
2014 concerning the Supreme Committee for Legislation in Dubai. This Law annuls any other
legislations that may conflict with it. Resolution No. (110) of 2023 continues to be applicable until
the Committee is reconstituted by a Decree from Dubai’s Ruler.

Existing decisions, regulations, and guidelines issued as part of Decree No. (23) of 2014 and
Executive Council Resolution No. (12) of 2014 will remain in effect unless they conflict with the Law
and until such time that they are replaced by new ones.
