The
Department of Justice of the HKSAR has launched a new legislation database,
namely the Hong Kong e-Legislation (HKeL), to replace the Bilingual Laws
Information System (BLIS). Users who access the BLIS website will be
automatically redirected to the HKeL homepage.
Hong
Kong e-Legislation (HKeL) is an electronic database of Hong Kong legislation
established under section 3 of the Legislation Publication Ordinance (Cap.
614). It is maintained by the Department of Justice. HKeL provides current and
past versions of consolidated legislation dating back to 30 June 1997 and PDF
copies marked “verified copy” have official legal status. Different searching
and viewing modes are available to facilitate access to law.
Verified
copies of legislation with legal status will be progressively made available on
HKeL for official use. In parallel, the existing Loose-leaf Edition of the Laws
of Hong Kong will be phased out gradually.
Special features have been added to HKeL including: Table of
Content for each ordinance (you can select, view and/or print for
specific parts only); past versions of legislation (Timeline is included),
hyperlinks to HKSAR Gazette and different caps/sections, subscription to
email alerts for new amendments, and pencil mark / icon for legislation not yet
inserted to HKel but hyperlinks will be provided to HKSAR Gazette etc. Users
are able to search range of caps by entering e.g. “1-10” or 1, 3, 5 rather than
being able to search just one ordinance/cap.
