Electoral (Constitutional) Amendment Bill 2015
This bill was a private member's bill that proposed technical changes to the Electoral Act 1992 to support a separate proposal for fixed four-year parliamentary terms in Queensland. It did not stand alone — it was designed to work with a companion constitutional bill. The bill lapsed and did not become law.
Constitution (Fixed Term Parliament) Amendment Bill 2015
This bill would fix Queensland's parliamentary term at four years, with state elections held on the second Saturday in March every four years. It would stop the Premier from calling early elections for political advantage and would only take effect if approved at a referendum.
Legislation (Declaration) Amendment Bill 2016
This bill fixes administrative errors that happened when two recent Acts were sent to the Governor for sign-off. Wrong versions of the Mental Health Act 2016 and Racing Integrity Act 2016 were presented for assent, so this bill declares both Acts valid from the start and confirms the correct wording.
