10/24/24, 8:34 PM UAE: Mohammed bin Rashid issues Law on Supreme Legislation Committee in Dubai
The Law also mandates that the Supreme Legislation Committee and its General Secretariat operate
under a clear set of guidelines, devised by the Chairman of the Committee, while discharging
responsibilities that also come under the purview of local and federal laws, international agreements,
and legal opinions.

Pursuant to the Law, H.H. Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, First Deputy Ruler
of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, and Chairman of the Supreme Legislation

Committee in Dubai, issued Decision No. (3) of 2024, approving guidelines for the Supreme Legislation
Committee in Dubai to conduct its work. 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 the 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 legislation
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.
