modifying the constitution of a cross-border public authority,
modifying the application of section 56(4) or 88(1), (2) or (3),
for any function to be exercisable by the Scottish Ministers instead of by a Minister of the Crown, or by the one concurrently with the other, or by both jointly or by either with the agreement of or after consultation with the other,
apportioning any assets or liabilities,
imposing, or enabling the imposition of, any limits or other restrictions in addition to or in substitution for existing limits or restrictions,
providing for sums to be charged on or payable out of, or paid into, the Scottish Consolidated Fund (instead of or in addition to payments into or out of the Consolidated Fund or the National Loans Fund or out of money provided by Parliament),
