Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003 (Cth)

Rail Safety National Law (Queensland) Bill 2016

This bill brings Queensland into Australia's national rail safety regime from 1 July 2017. It applies the Rail Safety National Law as a law of Queensland, repeals the Transport (Rail Safety) Act 2010, and makes the Office of the National Rail Safety Regulator responsible for rail safety here. It also strengthens drug and alcohol rules for rail workers and funds federal investigators to look into rail accidents.
