Harness Racing New South Wales Amendment (Rules) Bill 2001

Explanatory note

This explanatory note relates to this Bill as introduced into Parliament.




Overview of Bill


The object of this Bill is to put beyond doubt the rule-making functions of Harness Racing New South Wales under section 10A of the Harness Racing New South Wales Act 1977. The amendment restores words omitted in the restatement of the existing rule-making functions by the Harness Racing New South Wales Amendment Act 1998. The express reference to these words removes an argument (based on section 27 (2) of the Act) that no rules can be made under the Act despite the extensive powers to make rules conferred by the Act.

Outline of provisions


Clause 1 sets out the name (also called the short title) of the proposed Act.

Clause 2 provides that the proposed Act commences on the date of assent.

Clause 3 amends the Harness Racing New South Wales Act 1977 in the manner described above.

Clause 4 validates certain rules.

Note: If this Bill is not modified, these Explanatory Notes would reflect the Bill as passed in the House. If the Bill has been amended by Committee, these Explanatory Notes may not necessarily reflect the Bill as passed.
