LegislationReferenced in 3 bills
Associations Incorporation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill modernises Queensland's framework for incorporated associations and charitable organisations. It introduces governance standards for management committees, reduces duplicate financial reporting for organisations registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission, and provides simpler processes for dispute resolution, voluntary administration, and cancellation of incorporation.
Tobacco and Other Smoking Products Amendment Bill 2023
This bill overhauls Queensland's smoking product laws to reduce smoking rates, combat the illicit tobacco trade, and protect more people from second-hand smoke. It introduces mandatory licensing for all tobacco and vaping product sellers, creates new offences for supplying illicit tobacco, expands smoke-free zones to outdoor dining areas, markets, and school carparks, and strengthens protections for children.
Health and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill makes wide-ranging amendments to Queensland's health legislation, with the most significant reforms to the Mental Health Act 2016. It strengthens the rights of people receiving mental health treatment by replacing 'best interests' tests with a rights-based approach, improves safeguards around electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), enables international patient transfers, and aligns confidentiality provisions across health agencies.
