               Vehicle and Traffic Act 1999 and;

           (b) by omitting from subsection (2A)(c) the words gross vehicle mass

Clause 5   In Part 3 of this Act the Principal Act is the Vehicle and Traffic Act
           1999.




Clause 6   Amends Section 3 (1) of the Principal Act by;

           (a) Amending the definition of `GCM' to explain the meaning of that
               term.

           (b) Amending the definition of `GVM' to explain the meaning of that
               term.


           (c) Insert a definition of `Personalised Number Plate' to provide for a
               plate issued by the Registrar to contain a specific registration
               number or a plate that does not meet the specifications of standard
               number plates issued under the Act.
 
 
           (d) Inserting a definition of `Specific Registration Number' to mean a
               combination of letters and numbers that can be requested as the
               registration number to be displayed on the number plate.




Clause 7   Amends Section 13A of the Principal Act by omitting "section 20" and
           substituting "section 24" to correct an incorrect cross reference.




Clause 8   Inserts a new section 39A in Part 6 of the Principal Act to provide for
           the making of regulations with respect to the sale, use and rights with
           respect to personalised number plates that may be attached to or held
           independently of a vehicle. The regulations to be made under this
           provision may provide for the validation of any prescribed actions
           taken before the commencement of this Act.
 
 
PART 4



Clause 9   This clause is a standard provision agreed to be included in
           Amendment Bills, the effect of which is to automatically repeal the Act
           after 90 days from the date of the commencement of all of the
           provisions of the Act. This will make it unnecessary for the
           Government to later repeal the Act by a Legislation Repeal Act. Once
           the amendments are incorporated into the Principal Acts the
           Amendment Act serves no practical purpose and can be safely
           repealed.
