Article 29 explained in plain English
This is a closing article concerning the law's implementing regulations.
The article provides three things:
- Issuing body: the Board, that is, the board of directors of the General Authority for State Real Estate as defined in Article 1.
- Deadline for issuance: within one hundred and eighty days from the date of publication of the law.
- Start of operation of the regulations: from the date the law comes into force.
The intention is that the regulations are ready when the law starts to apply, so that both operate from the same date, and the law does not begin to be applied without the details it refers to.
Anyone dealing with this law therefore needs to read the regulations alongside it, because they set out the details and procedures to which the law refers.
Article 28 requires the Authority to prepare the unified lease contract forms, and Article 30 provides that this law replaces the Law on the State Leasing and Vacating of Real Estate issued by Royal Decree No. (M/61) dated 18/9/1427 AH.
