Tow Truck Bill 2023
This bill replaces Queensland's 50-year-old Tow Truck Act 1973 with a modernised framework for regulating tow trucks that remove crashed, seized or privately parked vehicles. It introduces a unified accreditation system, increases penalties for non-compliance, and strengthens consumer protections for motorists who may be vulnerable after a crash or whose vehicle has been towed from private property.
Transport Legislation (Road Safety and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2019
This bill strengthens Queensland's road safety laws by expanding drink driving interlock requirements to mid-range offenders, introducing mandatory education programs for all drink drivers, and enabling speed cameras on roads with variable speed limits. It also improves marine pollution cost recovery and streamlines various transport administration processes.
