HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY ACT 1991 - SECT 60
60 . Regulations, and subsidiary legislation generally
(1) The Governor, on
the recommendation of the Minister, may make regulations prescribing all
matters that are required or permitted by this Act to be dealt with by the
Code or to be prescribed, or are necessary or convenient to be prescribed, for
giving effect to the purposes of this Act.
(2) Regulations made
under this section may prescribe offences, and a penalty for any contravention
of those regulations which shall —
(a) in
the case of a contravention relating to any offence that is also prohibited by
the Code of Practice, not exceed $5 000; and
(b) in
any other case, not exceed $2 500.
(3) For the purpose of
any Rule the Council by a resolution may, and in and for the purposes of any
direction the CEO may, approve or adopt, with or without modification but
subject to subsection (4), a text or any requirement imposed, issued or
approved elsewhere.
(4) Where subsidiary
legislation under this Act includes or refers to any text or requirement
(including any criteria, standard, specification, formula or other means of
conveying detailed information) which is approved or adopted, with or without
modification, under subsection (3) that legislation has effect —
(a) as
if the text or the requirement identified by reference to the person or body
from which it originated (being the text or requirement at the date of its
approval or adoption or as may otherwise be specified, unless it is specified
that the text or requirement applicable shall be that as from time to time
amended) were set out in full; and
(b)
where the text or requirement is to apply as from time to time amended, as if
any modification determined by the Council or the CEO at the time the text or
requirement was approved or adopted (unless the modification itself is later
amended under this Act) prevailed over any subsequent amendment to that text
or requirement made by the originating person or body that is inconsistent
with the modification.
