Statute Law Revision Bill 2024

Introduction and first reading

Gabrielle WILLIAMS (Dandenong – Minister for Government Services, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Public and Active Transport) (12:06): I move:

That I introduce a bill for an act to revise the statute law of Victoria.

Motion agreed to.

Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (12:06): I request an explanation of the bill.

Gabrielle WILLIAMS (Dandenong – Minister for Government Services, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Public and Active Transport) (12:06): The Statute Law Revision Bill 2024 will amend various acts to correct inadvertent typographical errors and update references and definitions as well as removing other definitions which are now redundant. This helps to ensure the Victorian statutes are up to date and clear and facilitates the administering of Victorian laws. The bill does not make any substantive changes to the law.

Read first time.

Ordered to be read second time tomorrow.
