Expanding Adult Crime, Adult Time and Taking a Strong Stance on Drugs and Anti-Social Behaviour Amendment Bill 2026
This bill expands Queensland's youth crime laws, overhauls the drug diversion system, and creates new police powers in designated business precincts. It adds 12 new offences to the Adult Crime, Adult Time scheme so young offenders face adult penalties for more serious crimes, replaces the three-chance Police Drug Diversion Program with a stricter one-chance framework, and allows the Minister to declare business and community precincts where police have enhanced powers to address anti-social behaviour.
Revenue and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill implements 2025-26 State Budget measures and makes amendments across seven Acts. It extends the doubled First Home Owner Grant and the payroll tax rebate for apprentice and trainee wages, introduces windfall tax provisions to protect state revenue if foreign property surcharges are struck down by courts, clarifies SPER registration fees, validates a renewable energy generation authority transfer, and reforms Budget Estimates hearings.
Revenue and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill makes wide-ranging amendments across revenue, penalties, Indigenous community safety, cultural heritage, and transport infrastructure legislation. It expands electronic property settlement in Queensland, formalises several beneficial tax arrangements, improves the SPER debt management system, closes a loophole allowing homemade alcohol production in remote Indigenous communities, and makes governance changes to the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority.
State Penalties Enforcement (Modernisation) Amendment Bill 2022
This bill modernises Queensland's fines enforcement system and makes changes across several unrelated policy areas. It centralises the handling of camera-detected and tolling fines under a single agency (SPER within the Queensland Revenue Office), extends land tax concessions to Special Disability Trusts, reforms how the Residential Tenancies Authority is funded, and updates confidentiality rules for state penalties and taxation officials.
Tow Truck and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill regulates the tow truck industry's removal of vehicles from private property, reinstates driving offence accountability for 17-year-olds, and simplifies toll road demand notices. It was prompted by an independent investigation into predatory towing practices at private car parks across Queensland.
