New South Wales Consolidated Acts

COMBAT SPORTS ACT 2013 - SECT 15

15 Duration of registration

(1) The registration of a combatant ceases to have effect as follows, unless it is sooner cancelled or the term of registration is extended or reduced under this Act:

(a) if the registration is a renewal of a registration that has remained in force because of section 11 (2A)--the day that is 3 years after the date on which the previous registration would have ceased to have effect but for that subsection,

(b) in any other case--the day that is 3 years after the date it is granted.

(2) Despite subsection (1), the Authority may register a combatant for a shorter period if the Authority is of the opinion that it is in the interests of the health or safety of the combatant to be registered for the shorter period.

(3) The Authority may, at any time, extend the term of registration of a combatant as a combatant of a registration class for the purposes of having all classes of registration of the combatant expire at the same time.

(4) If a person who is registered as a combatant of a specified registration class or classes applies to the Authority during the person's term of registration to be registered again as a combatant of the same registration class or classes, the person's term of registration is extended until the Authority registers the person again or refuses to register the person again.
