Industrial Relations and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill implements major reforms to Queensland's industrial relations system following a five-year review. It strengthens workplace sexual harassment protections, creates a framework for minimum standards for gig economy courier drivers, modernises parental leave, and enhances equal remuneration requirements in enterprise bargaining.
Heavy Vehicle National Law and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill strengthens heavy vehicle safety by requiring company executives to actively ensure compliance with safety laws, and establishes a national database of heavy vehicles. It also significantly increases penalties for dangerous and careless driving that causes death or serious injury, and allows vehicle owners to be notified of traffic offences committed in their vehicles.
Tow Truck Bill 2023
This bill replaces the 50-year-old Tow Truck Act 1973 with modern legislation governing the towing of vehicles from crash scenes, police seizures and private property in regulated areas of Queensland. It maintains consumer protections for vulnerable motorists while modernising the accreditation system for tow truck operators, drivers and assistants.
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Bill 2018
This bill strengthens the national framework for regulating heavy vehicles (trucks and buses over 4.5 tonnes) by giving enforcement officers better investigation powers, allowing certain high-performance trucks easier road access, and streamlining court processes for driver fatigue offences.
