This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Veterans’ Support Amendment Bill (No 2) to—

• amend clause 12 by—

  • replacing the definition of prisoner in new section 29(3) of the Veterans’ Support Act 2014 (the principal Act) with a definition that aligns with the new definition of prison in new section 29(3):

  • making a minor amendment to new section 29(1)(b) by correcting a cross-reference to Parts 3 to 5 of the principal Act:

• replace clause 15, which amends section 81 of the principal Act. Some of the amendments made by that clause (new subsection (1)(b) and new subsection (5)) are no longer needed because equivalent amendments are made by Schedule 24 of the Education and Training Act 2019. New subsection (1)(c) is still required and is inserted by new clause 15:

• insert clause 31A, which inserts new Part 5 into Schedule 1 (transitional, savings, and related provisions) of the principal Act. New Part 5 is related to the amendment to section 81 of the principal Act made by Schedule 24 of the Education and Training Act 2019. It provides that, during the transition period relating to the work-based training provisions of Schedule 1 of the Education and Training Act 2019, a transitional ITO (industry training organisation) (as defined in that schedule) must also be treated as a tertiary education organisation for the purposes of section 81 of the principal Act.
