Australian Capital Territory
Statute Law Amendment Act 2013
A2013-19

An Act to amend legislation for the purpose of statute law revision, and for other purposes

    

The Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory enacts as follows:

1	Name of Act
This Act is the Statute Law Amendment Act 2013.
2	Commencement
This Act commences on the 21st day after its notification day.
Note	The naming and commencement provisions automatically commence on the notification day (see Legislation Act, s 75 (1)).
3	Notes
A note included in this Act is explanatory and is not part of this Act. 
Note	See the Legislation Act, s 127 (1), (4) and (5) for the legal status of notes.
4	Purpose of Act
The purpose of this Act is to improve the quality of the statute law of the Territory by amending legislation for the purpose of statute law revision. 
5	Legislation amended—schs 1–3
This Act amends the legislation mentioned in schedules 1 to 3.
6	Legislation repealed—sch 4
This Act repeals the legislation mentioned in schedule 4.

Schedule 1	Minor amendments
(see s 5)
Part 1.1	Health Act 1993
[1.1]	Section 106 (5) (b)
substitute
	(b)	must include a requirement that the arbitrator—
	(i)	be a person with experience in determining industrial awards or a barrister with mediation experience; and
	(ii)	have appropriate experience to enable the arbitrator to carry out the arbitrator’s role; and
Explanatory note
Section 106 provides an arbitration process to resolve matters relating to establishing core conditions for service contracts for visiting medical officers that are not resolved by negotiations under section 103 or mediation (see section 106 (2)). This amendment broadens the field from which arbitrators can be selected under section 106 (5) (b) and clarifies the reference to ‘appropriate experience’.
Part 1.2	Ombudsman Act 1989
[1.2]	Section 23 (2)
omit
Explanatory note
Section 23 (1) provides that the appointment of the ombudsman must not be longer than 7 years. Section 23 (2) provides that a person who is 65 years old or older must not be appointed as ombudsman, and the appointment of an ombudsman must not extend beyond the ombudsman’s 65th birthday. This amendment makes section 23 consistent with the Ombudsman Act 1976 (Cwlth), section 22 (Tenure of office) and allows the ACT to appoint a person as ombudsman who is, or will be, 65 years old or older during the term of the appointment. 
The ombudsman for the ACT currently holds office under the ACT Self-Government (Consequential Provisions) Act 1988 (Cwlth), section 28. Section 28 (3) of that Act provides that the person currently holding office as Ombudsman under the Ombudsman Act 1976 (Cwlth) is taken to be the ACT ombudsman until the appointment of the ACT ombudsman under ACT law.
Part 1.3	Road Transport (Third-Party Insurance) Act 2008
[1.3]	Section 72 (2)
omit everything before paragraph (a), substitute

omit everything before paragraph (a), substitute
	(3)	If the person has applied for a police report but has not received it in time to comply with the time limit mentioned in subsection (1) (c), it is sufficient if—
Explanatory note
This amendment updates language in line with current legislative drafting practice.
[1.5]	New section 72 (4) to (6)
insert
	(4)	If the person is under a legal disability, the period mentioned in subsection (1) (c) begins when the legal disability ends.
	(5)	However, subsection (4) does not prevent the person, or someone acting for the person, from complying with this section while the person is under a legal disability. 
	(6)	In this section:
legal disability—a person is under a legal disability in the circumstances in which a person is under a disability for the Limitation Act 1985.
Explanatory note
This amendment revises section 72 to exclude a person entitled to early payment for medical expenses under chapter 3 from the requirement to comply with the time limit under that section while the claimant is under a legal disability. This amendment brings chapter 3 into line with chapter 4. Section 98 in that chapter excludes a claimant for compensation who is under a legal disability from the requirement to comply with a time limit under chapter 4.

Schedule 2	Legislation Act 2001
(see s 5)
    
[2.1]	Section 31, definition of scrutiny committee principles

Explanatory note
Statute Law Amendment Act 2005 (No 2) remade section 10 to bring the language and structure of the section more closely into line with current legislative drafting practice. In the course of remaking section 10, some words from the definition of relevant day, paragraph (d) were inadvertently omitted. Without the words, the paragraph does not make sense. This amendment revises the definition to reinsert the missing words.
Part 3.2	Animal Diseases Regulation 2006
