Following the laying of the draft Code, it transpired that one of the statutory preconditions for the making of the draft Code appears not to have been fulfilled: the requirement in section 100BA(1)(a) of the 2020 Act that the Electoral Commission must consult the Scottish Parliament on a draft of the Code before submitting it to the Scottish Ministers for approval.
Any further projected implementation costs will be considered following a process to co-design the new code with service operators and households, and when developing and consulting on the code.

Scottish Ministers must consult on the code in preparing it, explicitly including local authorities and SEPA, and must lay a draft code in the Scottish Parliament for a minimum period of 40 days before its completion (with no account to be taken of time when Parliament is dissolved or in recess for more than 4 days)....
Regulation 17(2) of the instrument amends the Road Works (Reinstatement)(Scotland) Regulations 1992 at regulation 2(1) to provide that “the Code means the code of practice entitled “Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in Roads” approved by the Scottish Ministers in February 2019 as revised and reissued from time to time” thereby replacing the earlier Code dated October 2003.
