The statute defines basic guidelines controlling the Committee's activities as well as the responsibilities of several government agencies regarding it. It also contains particular clauses outlining the guidelines, policies, and practices for the Committee's operations, therefore guaranteeing that all actions take place under a controlled environment.

This law mandates that the Supreme Legislation Committee and its General Secretariat run under well defined, precisely defined set of rules. Establishing these rules by the Committee Chairman will help to ensure compliance with local and federal laws, international agreements, and legal interpretations, thereby guiding the Committee's obligations. This all-encompassing structure seeks to improve the general effectiveness and performance of the Committee in its legislative capacity.

In line with this law, Decision No. (3) of 2024 has been issued by His Highness Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of the UAE, This ruling approves the policies for the Supreme Legislation Committee, therefore defining the proper way of running its affairs.

These just adopted rules stress important goals including simplifying legislative issuing and review procedures. The objective is to establish transparent and effective processes compliant with the emirate's strategic plan. These rules mostly aim to create a sustainable legislative framework that can efficiently handle legal needs while still being flexible enough to fit future developments, The method is meant to guarantee compliance with both the federal and local rules applicable in Dubai as well as with the UAE Constitution.

Furthermore underlined in the rules are the control of the interaction among the Supreme Legislation Committee, its General Secretariat, other government agencies—local, federal, regional, or international—engaged in legislative affairs and agreements. This cooperative method is meant to guarantee consistent and efficient application of laws throughout Dubai, therefore enabling the accomplishment of the desired legislative goals.

Previously guiding the Supreme Committee for Legislation in Dubai, Law No. (14) of 2024 superseded Decree No. (23) of 2014 and Executive Council Resolution No. (12). The new law simplifies the legal system guiding the Committee's activities by nullifying any contradicting laws. But Resolution No. (110) of 2023 will be in force until the Committee is formally reestablished by a Dubai Ruler decree.

All currently in effect decisions, rules, and policies developed under Decree No. (23) of 2014 and Executive Council Resolution No. (12) of 2014 shall remain so as part of this change. This will be the case until they contradict the new law, therefore guaranteeing continuity in government until fresh rules are passed.

The passage of Law No. (14) of 2024 is a major legislative framework enhancement step for Dubai, The law seeks to increase the efficiency and efficacy of legislative procedures within the emirate by precisely delineating the goals, obligations, and operational policies of the Supreme Legislation Committee, Dubai wants to make sure that its laws not only satisfy present demands but also fit future changes by means of this all-encompassing legislative framework, therefore harmonizing municipal and federal laws. This project shows Dubai's will to create a strong legislative framework that advances its strategic future vision.
