LegislationReferenced in 3 bills
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.
Debt Reduction and Savings Bill 2021
This bill implements the Queensland Government's Savings and Debt Plan through a series of structural reforms. It transfers the Titles Registry to a government-owned company within the Queensland Future Fund to improve the State's balance sheet, abolishes three statutory bodies (Building Queensland, the Queensland Productivity Commission, and the Public Safety Business Agency), and introduces measures to modernise government operations including a fee unit model and mandatory digital publication.
Motor Accident Insurance and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill makes it a criminal offence to engage in 'claim farming' — the practice of cold-calling people after car accidents to pressure them into making insurance claims, then selling their details to lawyers for a fee. It strengthens the Motor Accident Insurance Commission's powers to investigate and prosecute claim farming by law firms and intermediaries, and requires additional claimant information to help detect fraudulent activity in the CTP insurance scheme.
