 (2) If:
 (a) a notice of a motion to terminate a WA Act has been given in a House of the Parliament:
 (i) within 15 sitting days after the tabling in that House of the WA Acts list specifying that WA Act; or
 (ii) if section 8D applies to that WA Act—within 3 months after that list was tabled; and
