I don't think a referendum is likely but interestingly Theresa May has moderated here language on it today, stating it was her “own view” that a second vote would divide the country.
Governments can move quickly if need be. How long does it physically need to pass such legislation? A day? We're in uncharted territory here so nothing can be ruled out.

Obviously as that's the definition of replicate. The pertinent question here is - does it have to replicate the 2016 referendum?
But all pretty hypothetical to me as I think a second referendum unlikely.
