Statutes Amendment Bill

Proposed amendment

Hon Chris Tremain, in Committee, to move the following amendment:

New Part 16AB

After clause 85B (after line 3 on page 29), insert:

Part 16AB
Local Electoral Act 2001

85BA Principal Act

  • This Part amends the Local Electoral Act 2001 (the principal Act).

85BB Section 138 amended (Duty to take action in respect of offences)

  • Replace section 138(1)(a)(ii) with:

    • “(ii) Part 5A; or

    • “(iii) this Part; or”.

Explanatory note

This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Statutes Amendment Bill to make a technical amendment. New Part 16AB is inserted to correct a drafting error in section 138 of the Local Electoral Act 2001 by which a cross-reference to Part 5A of that Act was inadvertently omitted.
