Justice and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill makes permanent several temporary COVID-19 measures in Queensland's justice system. It modernises how legal documents are signed and witnessed by allowing electronic signatures and video link witnessing, improves access to domestic violence protection orders, lets licensed restaurants permanently sell takeaway wine with meals, and extends COVID-19 retail lease protections.
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.
