Report in relation to Statutes (Repeals and Minor Amendments) Bill 1997
The WA Constitutional Affairs Committee reviewed the Statutes (Repeals and Minor Amendments) Bill 1997, recommending the repeal of several spent or obsolete Acts, including the Death Duty Act 1973, and making minor amendments to others like the Nurses Act 1992. The aim was to improve parliamentary efficiency by removing unnecessary legislation. The committee considered submissions and held hearings on specific clauses.
Impact
The repeals primarily affect legal and administrative processes related to outdated legislation. Amendments impact specific sectors governed by the amended Acts, such as casino control, community services, environmental protection, superannuation, heritage, local government, motor vehicle dealers, nursing, tobacco control and welfare.
