LegislationReferenced in 4 bills
Justice and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill makes permanent several temporary measures introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic across the justice portfolio. It modernises how legal documents are executed by allowing electronic signatures and video call witnessing, improves access to domestic and family violence protection orders, allows licensed restaurants to permanently sell takeaway wine with meals, and extends commercial lease protections.
Tobacco and Other Smoking Products Amendment Bill 2023
This bill overhauls Queensland's smoking laws by requiring all businesses selling tobacco, vapes and other smoking products to hold a licence, expanding smoke-free public spaces, cracking down on illicit tobacco, and updating advertising rules for the digital age. It aims to continue driving down smoking rates while protecting Queenslanders — especially children — from the harms of smoking and second-hand smoke.
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.
Child Safe Organisations Bill 2024
This bill creates a mandatory child safe organisations system for Queensland, requiring organisations that work with children to meet 10 child safe standards and to report and investigate allegations of child abuse by their workers. It implements key recommendations from the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, with the Queensland Family and Child Commission overseeing the system.
