LegislationReferenced in 4 bills
Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill overhauls Queensland's casino regulation following the Gotterson Review, which found The Star Entertainment Group's casinos were facilitating money laundering, had deficient anti-money laundering programs, and encouraged people banned by interstate police to gamble in Queensland. It introduces mandatory identity-verified player cards, cash transaction limits, compulsory gambling limits, and requires exclusion of anyone banned by an interstate police commissioner.
Electrical Safety and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill modernises Queensland's electrical safety and workplace safety laws. It updates electrical safety definitions to cover new technologies like e-scooters and battery storage systems, strengthens industrial manslaughter laws to protect the public, adds negligence to serious safety offences, and gives safety representatives new powers to photograph and test workplace hazards.
Education (General Provisions) Amendment Bill 2025
This bill reforms Queensland's Education (General Provisions) Act 2006 to reduce administrative burden on schools and families while strengthening student safety. It makes transfer notes mandatory when students move between schools, implements recommendations from the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, and streamlines processes for online learning platforms, home education, special schools, and P&C Associations.
Information Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill strengthens how Queensland government agencies protect and handle personal information. It requires agencies to notify people when data breaches occur, creates consistent privacy principles across government, and gives the Information Commissioner stronger powers to investigate privacy issues. It also streamlines how people can access and correct their personal information held by government.
