Scrutiny of Acts and Regulations Committee

Report on the Statute Law Revision Bill
February 2005

Recommendations

[Table of Contents]


Recommendation 1

The Committee is satisfied that the amendments made to the Acts listed in Schedule 1 of the Bill are not of a substantive nature and only seek to correct minor grammatical, spelling cross-referencing or government nomenclature references and are therefore appropriate to be contained in a Statute Law Revision Bill.

Recommendation 2

The Committee is satisfied that the relocation of the transitional provisions into the Crimes Act 1958 and the Sentencing Act 1991 as provided in Schedule 2 of the Bill are appropriate as a consequence of the repeal of certain Acts that are to be made by Schedule 3 of the Bill.

Recommendation 3

The Committee considers that the repeal of the 209 spent Acts listed in Schedule 3 is appropriate.

Recommendation 4

The Committee notes the unproclaimed Acts listed in Appendix 2.

The Committee will write to the Premier to request further information why the Acts listed in that Appendix remain unproclaimed or unrepealed.

Pending the Attorney-General’s response the Committee draws attention to the unproclaimed Acts.
