📜 Emergency Management Amendment (Temporary COVID-19 Provisions) Bill 2022
This bill amends the Emergency Management Act 2005 and the Public Health Act 2016 to create a temporary scheme for managing COVID-19, lasting two years. It allows the State Emergency Coordinator to make COVID-19 declarations and authorise officers to exercise powers for COVID-19 management.
Impact
The bill affects all Western Australians as it grants specific powers to manage COVID-19. It matters because it provides a legal framework for government actions during the pandemic, but only for a limited time.
