Heavy Vehicle National Law and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2016

This bill overhauls heavy vehicle safety laws to make every party in the transport chain — not just drivers — legally responsible for safe operations, with jail terms of up to 5 years for reckless conduct. It also sets up the legal framework for Queensland's $100 million assistance package for taxi and limousine licence holders affected by ride-share competition, plus makes a range of administrative improvements to trucking regulation.
