Part XI · Distributionof Legislative Powers

Article 252 Power of Parliament to legislate for two or more States by consent and adoption of such legislation by any other State.

This article lets Parliament legislate for two or more States by consent. If the legislatures of two or more States resolve that a matter on their list should be handled by Parliament, Parliament may make that law. A State that adopted the law may later repeal its adoption by resolution. Other States may adopt the law later.

1. (1) If it appears to the Legislatures of two or more States to be desirable that any of the matters with respect to which Parliament has no power to make laws for the States except as provided in articles 249 and 250 should be regulated in such States by Parliament by law, and if resolutions to that effect are passed by all the Houses of the Legislatures of those States, it shall be lawful for Parliament to pass an act for regulating that matter accordingly, and any Act so passed shall apply to such States and to any other State by which it is adopted afterwards by resolution passed in that behalf by the House or, where there are two Houses, by each of the Houses of the Legislature of that State.
2. (2) Any Act so passed by Parliament may be amended or repealed by an Act of Parliament passed or adopted in like manner but shall not, as respects any State to which it applies, be amended or repealed by an Act of the Legislature of that State.
