Nature Conservation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill extends beekeeping in specified Queensland national parks for 20 years until 31 December 2044, delivering a government election commitment. It also creates new offences for impersonating rangers, strengthens enforcement powers for park officers, updates governance arrangements for the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, and consolidates administrative provisions from regulations into the Nature Conservation Act.
Police Service Administration and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill modernises the security arrangements for Queensland government buildings by repealing the State Buildings Protective Security Act 1983 and moving its provisions into existing police legislation. It creates a single category of 'protective services officer' with standardised security powers and also streamlines identity card requirements for police officers working under Parks and Wildlife legislation.
