Explanatory note
10
Amendment 1 remakes section 19 to clarify its operation. The section has been
11
recast to deal separately with the non-revival of repealing and amending Acts on
12
their repeal. Examples have been included to cover automatic repeal under
13
section 22C. The examples are complemented by an amendment of that section.
14
The remade section is intended merely to restate the effect of the existing section.
15
Amendments 2 to 7 bring the drafting of section 20 into line with remade section 19.
16
Amendment 7 also includes a proposed new subsection based on the Interpretation
17
Act 1987 (NSW), section 30(2). The new subsection clarifies the range of matters
18
not affected by repeal or amendment.
19
Amendment 8 is a consequential renumbering amendment.
20
Amendments 9 to 12 bring the drafting of existing section 20(3) and (4) into line
21
with remade section 19, and recast the subsections as a separate section with its own
22
heading.
23
Amendment 13 omits a provision consequentially on amendment 7.
24
Amendments 14 to 18 bring the drafting of section 20A into line with remade section
25
19. Amendment 18 also amends section 20A to include a new subsection providing
26
that certain implications about the application of the section are not to be drawn
27
from the making of a declaration under section 20A(2).
28
Amendment 19 is a consequential renumbering amendment.
29
Amendment 20 adds subsections to section 22C to clarify its operation. The
30
additional subsections are not intended to change the effect of the section.
31
Amendment 21 is a consequential renumbering amendment.
25
Statute Law Revision (No. 2)
SCHEDULE 1 (continued)
1
Amendments 22 and 23 are amendments of the Act included in the Criminal Code
2
(1995), schedule 2. The amendments are included here to enable them to be
3
commenced ahead of the Criminal Code. The amendments in the Criminal Code are
4
deleted elsewhere in this Bill.
5
Amendment 24 remakes section 35B, which sets out the rules for referring to the
6
provisions of legislation. The replacement section merely makes minor refinements
7
to already existing rules.
8
The rules help shorten Queensland legislation by ensuring that provision references
9
are as concise as possible, but unambiguous. Although the proposed section is
10
lengthy, the rules themselves are fairly straightforward. (The section is, of course,
11
considerably lengthened by the inclusion of numerous examples to help the reader.)
12
The rules can be summarised as follows--
13
ˇ within the `body' of an Act (the Act apart from any preamble, schedule or
14
appendix of the Act), when referring to--
15
