Thus, the first act of 2016 is numbered <i>2016 asp 1</i>, the second is <i>2016 asp 2</i>, and so on. The first act of 2017 is <i>2017 asp 1</i> because the final number resets each calendar year. </p><p>If multiple acts receive royal assent on the same day, they are numbered based on the order in which their Letters Patent are received. If multiple acts are specified in a single Letters Patent, the acts are numbered by the order in which they are mentioned in the Letters.<sup id="cite_ref-2010-asp-10_28-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2010-asp-10-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: (s. 38)">: (s. 38) </span></sup><sup id="cite_ref-1999-si-1379_29-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1999-si-1379-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: (art. 4)">: (art. 4) </span></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Citation">Citation</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Act_of_the_Scottish_Parliament&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Citation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>An act can be cited in a number of ways: by reference to its <a href="/wiki/Short_title" class="mw-redirect" title="Short title">short title</a> ("Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016"); by reference to its full number ("2016 asp 1"); or both ("Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016 (asp 1)"), although the exact appearance of this type of citation generally depends on the <a href="/wiki/Style_guide" title="Style guide">style guide</a> in use.<sup id="cite_ref-2010-asp-10_28-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2010-asp-10-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: (s. 9)">: (s. 9) </span></sup><sup id="cite_ref-1999-si-1379_29-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1999-si-1379-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: (art. 5)">: (art. 5) </span></sup><sup id="cite_ref-cardiffuni_citing-the-law_scottish-legislation_30-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-cardiffuni_citing-the-law_scottish-legislation-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-robertgordonuni_harvard-guide_scottish-legislation_31-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-robertgordonuni_harvard-guide_scottish-legislation-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Enactment_formula">Enactment formula</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Act_of_the_Scottish_Parliament&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Enactment formula"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951" /><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Enacting_clause" class="mw-redirect" title="Enacting clause">Enacting clause</a></div> <p>The enactment formula for acts of the Scottish Parliament is non-typical – unlike many others, it doesn't begin with a variation of the phrase "be it enacted..." or state from where the Parliament derives authority (a <a href="/wiki/Deity" title="Deity">deity</a> or the <a href="/wiki/Monarch" title="Monarch">sovereign</a>).

For example, the highest-level division might be "trees," with two subdivisions for <a href="/wiki/Evergreen" title="Evergreen">evergreen</a> and <a href="/wiki/Deciduous" title="Deciduous">deciduous</a> trees, with each of those having subdivisions for particular species of trees. Different divisions are used depending on the role of that division (e.g. <i>parts</i> versus <i>schedules</i>). </p><p>A table of divisions is shown. In this table <i>"Continuous?"</i> indicates whether the numbering of those divisions continues across divisions, or whether the numbering resets to the first value in the sequence at the start of the next-highest-level division. The <i>"Optional?"</i> column indicates whether, within that portion of the act, that division can be omitted. While addenda are themselves optional, an addendum to an act must use the <i>paragraph</i> division. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Body_of_the_act">Body of the act</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Act_of_the_Scottish_Parliament&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Body of the act"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The main <a href="/wiki/Body_matter" class="mw-redirect" title="Body matter">body matter</a> of an act is divided into parts, then chapters, then sections, then subsections, then paragraphs, then sub- and sub-sub-paragraphs (or "heads"). The only division that must be used is the section; all others are optional, although chapters cannot be used without parts. These divisions are almost always numbered, although paragraphs may occasionally not be numbered, such as when being used for a list of definitions. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Addenda_to_the_act">Addenda to the act</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Act_of_the_Scottish_Parliament&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: Addenda to the act"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Some acts have schedules, a type of <a href="/wiki/Addendum" title="Addendum">addendum</a>, which give additional information. Schedules are commonly used to provide lists of amendments to other acts, but may be used anywhere it may not be appropriate to include the information in the act's main text. For example, section 1 of the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Charities_and_Trustee_Investment_(Scotland)_Act_2005&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (page does not exist)">Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005</a> gives a general definition of the <a href="/wiki/Office_of_the_Scottish_Charity_Regulator" title="Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator">Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator</a>, while schedule 1 to that act gives more detail; and schedule 1 to the <a href="/wiki/Budget_(Scotland)_Act_2016" class="mw-redirect" title="Budget (Scotland) Act 2016">Budget (Scotland) Act 2016</a> sets out the purposes for which money will be allocated to the Scottish Government, and how much money will be allocated to those purposes.<sup id="cite_ref-2005-asp-6_33-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2005-asp-6-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2016-asp-12_34-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2016-asp-12-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>If there are multiple schedules, each is individually numbered; otherwise a schedule is not numbered. Schedules are then divided into parts, then chapters, then paragraphs, and then sub-paragraphs in the same way as the sections of the main body of the act. As with the main body, parts and chapters are optional, and chapters cannot be used without parts. Although schedules still have the full force of law like sections, they are counted as additions rather than main components of the act, and so a schedule is said to be "to an act" rather than "of an act." </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Other">Other</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Act_of_the_Scottish_Parliament&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Other"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Both the main body of the act and its addenda may have cross-headings.
