comprising the whole or part of a State forest is to cease to be State forest;
or
(b) the
purpose, or combination of purposes, notified in respect of a State forest
under section 60(3)(a) or 60A be amended.
(2) Either House of
Parliament may, by resolution of which notice has been given within 14 sitting
days of that House after a proposal has been laid before it under subsection
(1), pass a resolution disallowing the proposal.
(3) If a proposal is
disallowed under subsection (2), the proposal lapses.
(4) As soon as a
proposal is no longer subject to disallowance under subsection (2), the
proposal may be implemented by order of the Governor published in the Gazette
.
(5) It does not matter
whether or not the period of 14 sitting days referred to in subsection (2) or
some of them occur during —
(a) the
same session of Parliament; or
(b) the
same Parliament,
as that in which the
relevant proposal is laid before the House of Parliament concerned.
(6) If the notice of a
resolution referred to in subsection (2) is given to a House and that
resolution is not lost but, before the period of 14 sitting days mentioned in
subsection (2) expires, Parliament is prorogued or that House is dissolved or
expires —
(a) the
relevant proposal does not lapse but, subject to paragraph (b)(iii), it cannot
be implemented; and

the commencement of the next session of Parliament —
(i)
the Minister may cause the proposal to be laid before
that House again; and
(ii)
notice of a resolution disallowing the proposal may be
given again in that House; and
(iii)
subsection (2) applies again but as if the references in
subsection (2) to the period of 14 sitting days after the proposal was laid
were references to the remaining sitting days after notice of a resolution
disallowing the proposal is given under subparagraph (ii).
(7) On the publication
in the Gazette under subsection (4) of an order declaring that land ceases to
be State forest, the land —
