An act of the Khanoniyat (except if it is a non-binding resolution) can be repealed by the body itself in the same way as it was passed, or by the Parliament of Packilvania by an act of Parliament. Any act of the Khanoniyat can be amended by the body which passed it. Any act of the Khanoniyat can be stricken down in part or whole by the High Court of the Province or by the Supreme Court of Packilvania for going against an Act of Parliament or the Constitution of Packilvania. The implementation of a provincial law can be temporarily suspended by an application for an interdict by the Minister of State Security or the Minister of Justice with the approval of the Council of Ministers of Packilvania or the by the Provincial Council of Ministers either to a High Court, the Supreme Court or the Sultan himself. A small set of reasons must be given and criteria met to permit the suspension of the act and based on interdict, the duration permissible varies.
*The Provincial Government can pass laws that enforce and bring to effect National Laws as mandated by and within the limitations imposed by an Act of Parliament. This includes initiating or approving programs, directing public functionaries, and entering permissible arrangements with other entities to achieve the objectives or meet the demands and targets of National Law.
▲The Provincial Governments can pass laws on hundreds of topics as follows:
*The Provincial Government can pass laws which supplement, or complement existing National Laws (as such laws allow). For instance, the Provincial Government can supplement national laws on labour rights, property rights, reproductive rights, marital rights, criminal justice, religious and ethnic minorities, the regulation of companies and other entities, taxes, banking and other financial services, public expenditure, and the civil service.
*
*The Provincial Government can pass laws on matters for which the Parliament of Packilvania has not passed a law in an area which is not explicitly reserved to the Parliament of Packilvania. This excludes areas such as defence, monetary policy, state security, intraprovincial travel, citizenship, naturalisation and immigration, imperial, judicial and legislative affairs, nobility and the Magisterium, war and peace, and foreign relations and international treaties.
*The Provincial Government can pass laws on matters reserved for provincial governments by National Law such as the management and provision of water, electricity, education, public safety, public housing, intraprovincial transport, healthcare, urban development, cultural landmarks, local government boundaries and powers (which have not been delineated by legislation elsewhere).
*
The effect of these powers is that legislation on the same matter can vary substantially between provinces and provinces exercise a high degree of latitude in their internal affairs. For instance, Fidakar organises its local government into prefectures, regions, and counties while Mekedesh has one system for cities and another for rural provinces. Each province has its own healthcare system, meaning some provinces have better healthcare, more minimum benefits or different contribution schemes for their residents than others. Some provinces have different rates of corporate and personal income tax. Some provinces have restrictions on internal migration especially from rural to urban areas. In many areas which affect one or more provinces, the National Government plays a coordinating role. For instance, although each province has their own healthcare system, vaccinations and medications are approved at nation level and patents are recognised nationally.
