Scrutiny of Acts and Regulations Committee
Report on the Statute Law Revision
Bill
February 2005
Recommendations
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 omenclature references
and are therefore appropriate to be contained in a Statute Law Revision
Bill.
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.
The Committee considers that the repeal of the 209 spent
Acts listed in Schedule 3 is appropriate.
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.
