LegislationReferenced in 3 bills
Transport Legislation (Road Safety and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2022
This bill makes a range of improvements to Queensland's transport laws. It broadens the types of road safety programs that can be funded from camera fine revenue, allows a wider range of motorised mobility devices to be used legally, extends legal protections for health professionals reporting unfit interstate drivers, streamlines court evidence rules for vehicle modification offences, and extends accommodation works powers to rail projects.
Tow Truck Bill 2023
This bill repeals the Tow Truck Act 1973 and replaces it with a modern regulatory framework for tow truck operations in Queensland. It introduces a new accreditation system for operators, drivers and assistants, strengthens penalties for non-compliance, and updates enforcement powers to better protect consumers, particularly motorists who are vulnerable after a vehicle incident.
Local Government Electoral and Other Legislation (Expenditure Caps) Amendment Bill 2022
This bill introduces spending caps for Queensland local government elections, limiting how much candidates, political parties and third parties can spend on campaigning. It was prompted by the Crime and Corruption Commission's Operation Belcarra findings about uneven financial competition in council elections and implements recommendations from a parliamentary committee inquiry.
