Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Bill 2025
This bill reforms the national law governing heavy vehicles (trucks and other vehicles over 4.5 tonnes) to improve road safety, simplify regulation, and update penalties. It introduces a new legal duty for all heavy vehicle drivers to be fit to drive, requires transport operators to have safety management systems, and rebalances penalties so serious offences attract higher fines while minor paperwork errors are treated more leniently.
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.
Defamation (Model Provisions) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill modernises Queensland's defamation laws to match nationally agreed reforms. It makes it harder to bring trivial defamation claims by requiring proof of serious harm, gives journalists and academics stronger defences when publishing on matters of public interest, and requires people to attempt to resolve disputes before going to court. It also fixes a heavy vehicle regulation issue before it causes problems for truck operators.
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Bill 2019
This bill amends Queensland's heavy vehicle national law to implement reforms agreed by Australian transport ministers. It streamlines permit administration, consolidates vehicle defect notice rules, allows certain semitrailers to operate at 4.6 metres high without individual permits, and formally authorises the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator to provide compliance advice and education to the transport industry.
Heavy Vehicle National Law and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill reforms national heavy vehicle safety regulation and increases penalties for serious driving offences. It strengthens the safety obligations of heavy vehicle company executives, establishes a national database of heavy vehicles, increases penalties for careless driving causing death or serious injury, and simplifies drug driving testing procedures.
Transport Legislation (Road Safety and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2019
This bill makes a wide range of amendments to Queensland transport legislation, with a primary focus on road safety. It strengthens drink driving laws by expanding the Alcohol Ignition Interlock Program to mid-range offenders and introducing mandatory education programs. It also improves speed camera enforcement on roads with multiple speed limits and extends alcohol and drug testing to people who dangerously interfere with vehicle operation.
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Bill 2018
This bill amends the national law governing heavy vehicles (trucks and buses over 4.5 tonnes) to give enforcement officers stronger powers to investigate safety issues and stop dangerous operators. It also allows certain high-performance trucks easier access to the road network and streamlines court processes for driver fatigue offences in Queensland.
