The Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004 was amended on 2 February 2009 by the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal (Transitional Provisions) Regulation 2009 to include section 56 (1) as a modification. The modification was necessary because of amendments made to the Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004 by the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2008. This amendment enables the modification to be substantively incorporated into the Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004 before the modification expires on 2 February 2010.

(a) if satisfied that a ground for occupational discipline exists in relation to the complaint—

Explanatory note

This amendment allows the registrar under the Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004 to continue to exercise the registrar’s disciplinary powers as an alternative to commencing occupational discipline proceedings in the ACAT.

The Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004 was amended on 2 February 2009 by the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal (Transitional Provisions) Regulation 2009 to include section 123 (1) (a) as a modification. The modification was necessary because of amendments made to the Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004 by the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2008. This amendment enables the modification to be substantively incorporated into the Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004 before the modification expires on 2 February 2010.

The Construction Occupations (Licensing) Regulation 2004 was amended on 2 February 2009 by the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal (Transitional Provisions) Regulation 2009 to include this amendment as a modification. The modification was necessary because of amendments made to the Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004 and the Construction Occupations (Licensing) Regulation 2004 by the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2008.

[1.14] Section 158

substitute

158 Audit of financial statements etc

(1) A licensee must, as soon as practicable (but not later than 6 months) after the end of each financial year—

(a) if the licensee’s gross revenue for the year is at least $200 000—

(i) ensure that the licensee’s financial statements for the year are audited by a qualified accountant; and

(b) if the licensee’s gross revenue for the year is less than $200 000—

(i) prepare an income and expenditure statement for the year that identifies the licensee’s gross revenue during the year; and

(ii) certify that the statement is true; and

(c) give the commission a copy of the audited financial statements or certified income and expenditure statement.

Note Gross revenue—see the dictionary.

(2) The audited financial statements or certified income and expenditure statement must be accompanied by—

(a) if the licensee is a club—a report stating the number of club members at the end of the relevant financial year and, if different classes of members exist, the number of members in each class; and

Examples—classes of member

life member, social member, voting member

Note An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).

(b) any other details the commission requires in writing.

Explanatory note

This amendment removes the requirement for smaller licensees (ie those with an annual gaming machine revenue of less than $200 000) to have gaming machine accounts audited. Smaller licensees will still be required to provide the commission with certified income and expenditure statements for the financial year. It also introduces the requirement that club membership information be presented by class in the membership report if different classes of members exist.

Part 1.7 Gaming Machine Regulation 2004

[1.15] Section 17 (2)

substitute

(2) The club secretary must, at the same time, give the commission a copy of the following documents:

(b) the notice proposed to be displayed under section 18 (b);

(c) all documents mentioned in section 20 (a) to (e).

Explanatory note

This amendment streamlines processes by obliging the secretary to give the commission a copy of all documents mentioned in section 20, not just those mentioned in section 20 (c) as at present.

[1.16] Section 19 (3)

substitute

(3) In this section:

ballot document means a document mentioned in section 17 (2).

Explanatory note

This amendment is consequential on the amendment of section 17 (2) by another amendment.

[1.17] New section 20 (2)

after the note, insert

(2) A notice under subsection (1) (c) may include a recommendation that members vote in a particular way on the question.

Explanatory note

This amendment allows the club to recommend how members vote.

[1.18] Section 21

after

club secretary

insert

(or, if there is an alternative person under section 22A for the club, the alternative person)

Explanatory note

This amendment gives functions under the section to someone other than the secretary if section 22A applies. New section 22A is inserted by another amendment.

[1.19] Section 22

substitute

22 Counting votes for ballot

(1) The club secretary (or, if there is an alternative person under section 22A for the club, the alternative person) must work out the result of the ballot and, as soon as practicable after working out the result—

(a) display the result at each premises to which the ballot relates; and

(b) give the commission written notice of the result.

(2) A vote must not be counted in the ballot if—

(a) the secretary receives the voting paper after the voting close date; or

(b) the member voting has already voted in the ballot; or

(c) the vote has been made by someone other than a voting member.

Explanatory note

This amendment gives the vote counting function under the section to another person if one has been decided under section 22A, inserted by another amendment.

[1.20] New sections 22A and 22B

insert

22A Alternative person

The commission may decide that a person other than the secretary may exercise functions under section 21 or section 22 for a club.

22B Supervisory role of commission

(1) The commission may attend when functions are exercised under section 21 or section 22 or may check that the functions have been properly exercised.

(2) If the commission considers that a function has not been properly exercised, the commission may direct that the function be properly exercised.

Explanatory note

This amendment inserts new sections 22A and 22B. The new provisions introduce the procedure for someone other than the secretary to exercise functions under sections 21 and 22, and gives the commission a supervisory role in ensuring that the functions are properly exercised. The combined effect of the new provisions and the amendments to sections 21 and 22 will be to enhance the transparency of the voting process.

Part 1.8 Medicines, Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Act 2008

[1.21] Section 88 (1)

omit

A licence must include the following information:

substitute

A licence must be in writing and include the following information:

Explanatory note

This amendment revises the subsection to make it explicit that a licence must be in writing.

[1.22] Section 93

omit everything before subsection (2), substitute

93 Licensee to keep chief health officer informed

(1) This section applies if a licence-holder believes that there will be a change (the anticipated change) to anything stated in—

(a) the licence; or

(b) the application for the licence; or

(c) an application to amend the licence.

Note Failure to comply with this section contravenes a condition of the licence (see s 89 (b)).

Explanatory note

This amendment substitutes a new section heading and adds new section 93 (1) (b). The new section heading better reflects the operation of the section. The new paragraph requires a licence-holder to tell the chief health officer about a change to a material particular in the application for the licence that might affect the basis on which it was issued, eg a change in the nominated individual for the supervision of dealings with regulated substances under the licence or to the security arrangements for the licensed premises. The examples of changes in section 93 indicate that the section was intended to include changes to matters in licence applications.

Part 1.9 Public Sector Management Act 1994

[1.23] Section 56 (1) (a)

substitute

(a) an industrial agreement is in force in relation to an officer holding an office having that classification, and the agreement states the salary payable in relation to offices having that classification; or

Explanatory note

This amendment replaces a reference to the approval of classifications under management standards with a reference to industrial agreements. This reflects the fact that classifications are now set out in industrial agreements.

[1.24] Dictionary, definition of non-appellable promotion, paragraph (b)

substitute

(b) a classification equivalent to a classification mentioned in paragraph (a), other than a classification for an office for appointment to which teaching qualifications are required.

Explanatory note

This amendment removes a redundant reference to the prescribing of classifications under management standards which are now set out in industrial agreements.
