8510

Article 8510: Membership in the Assembly is vested in an individual and cannot be delegated to another person. The Assembly cannot allocate the power of legislation to a person or a commission. However, in urgent cases it can assign to its own internal commissions the power to legislate certain laws, in accordance with Article 72. In this case, the laws will be implemented experimentally and for a period of time that is specified by the Assembly. Their final approval will be determined by the Assembly. Also the Islamic Consultative Assembly can, in accordance with Article 72, allocate to the government or appropriate commissions the task of permanent ratification of the articles of association of the state companies, institutions, and establishments or government-affiliated ones. In this case the decisions of the government must not differ from the principles and decrees of the official religion of the country or the constitution; as indicated in Article 96, the Guardian Council evaluates this matter. In addition, government decrees must not contradict the general laws and regulations of the country. As they are released for execution, they must be communicated to the head of the Islamic Consultative Assembly in order to be evaluated and determined in accordance with the aforementioned laws.
