Australian Capital Territory
Statute Law Amendment Act 2013 (No 2)
A2013-44

An Act to amend legislation for the purpose of statute law revision

    

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

1	Name of Act
This Act is the Statute Law Amendment Act 2013 (No 2).
2	Commencement
This Act commences on the 14th 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.

Schedule 1	Minor amendments
(see s 5)
Part 1.1	Education and Care Services National Law (ACT) Act 2011
[1.1]	New section 6 (6) and (7)
insert
	(6)	Despite subsection (4), the Education and Care Services National Law (ACT) is taken to be amended by the Children’s Services Amendment Act 2011 (Vic) as if that Act—
	(a)	had been presented to the Legislative Assembly in accordance with subsection (2); and
	(b)	had not been disallowed under subsection (3).
Note	That Act, ss 62 to 78 made amendments of the Education and Care Services National Law set out in the schedule to the Victorian Act.
	(7)	Subsection (6) and this subsection expire on the day they commence.
Explanatory note
The Education and Care Services National Law is set out in the schedule to a Victorian Act (the Education and Care Services National Law Act 2010 (Vic)).  The National Law has been applied in the ACT by the Education and Care Services National Law (ACT) Act 2011 (the ACT Act).
Under the ACT Act, section 6 any amendments of the National Law that are passed by the Victorian Parliament after the ACT Act’s notification day must be presented to the Legislative Assembly within 6 sitting days. The Assembly may disallow any amendment. 
In late 2011, a series of amendments of the National Law was passed by the Victorian Parliament (in the Children’s Services Amendment Act 2011 (Vic), ss 62 to 78). The amendments were largely technical in nature.
Due to an oversight, the Victorian amending Act was not tabled in the Assembly as required under the ACT Act, section 6.  As a result, the National Law as it applies in the ACT is taken not to include those amendments (see the ACT Act, s 6 (4)).
The purpose of this amendment is to remedy that and ensure that the amendments made by the Victorian amending Act are included in the National Law as it applies in the ACT.

This amendment omits a provision that defines complying pharmacy corporation because most provisions relating to pharmacies are now being relocated to a new part in the Public Health Act 1997.

[1.20]	Section 128B (1) (c)
omit
Explanatory note
This amendment omits a paragraph that is made redundant as a consequence of the making of the Public Health (Community Pharmacy) Code of Practice 2012 (No 1) DI2012-211 (the code of practice). Section 128B (1) (c) refers to standards approved by the Minister under section 128B (2). The Health (Community Pharmacy Premises) Approved Standard 2010 (No 1) NI2010-349, made under section 128B (2), was repealed when the code of practice was determined. The standard was no longer needed because the code replicates many of the requirements that were in the standard. The reference to the approval of standards under section 128B (1) is omitted to remove unnecessary duplication between the Act and the Public Health Act 1997 regarding the regulation of community pharmacy premises.
[1.21]	Section 128B (2) to (4)
omit
Explanatory note
This amendment omits provisions that are made redundant as a consequence of the making of the Public Health (Community Pharmacy) Code of Practice 2012 (No 1) DI2012-211 (the code of practice). Section 128B (2) to (4) refer to standards approved by the Minister about premises for community pharmacies. The Health (Community Pharmacy Premises) Approved Standard 2010 (No 1) NI2010-349, made under section 128B (2), was repealed when the code of practice was determined. The standard was no longer needed because the code replicates many of the requirements that were in the standard. The provisions are omitted to remove unnecessary duplication between the Act and the Public Health Act 1997 regarding the regulation of community pharmacy premises.  
[1.22]	Section 128B (as amended) and section 129
relocate to Public Health Act 1997, new part 3B as sections 66W and 66X

substitute

Explanatory note
This amendment inserts a heading for a new part for provisions about pharmacy ownership and premises restrictions that are relocated to new part 3B from the Health Act 1993, part 9 and the Public Health Regulation 2000, section 62 by other amendments.  
Community pharmacies are now regulated under the Act as a consequence of the declaration of the operation of a pharmacy business at a community pharmacy as a licensable public health risk activity under the Public Health (Community Pharmacy) Risk Activity Declaration 2012 (No 1) DI2012-210 and the determination of a code of practice under the Act, section 133 for the operation of community pharmacies (see the Public Health (Community Pharmacy) Code of Practice 2012 (No 1) DI2012-211). 
Provisions in other legislation relating to pharmacies are being consolidated in part 3B to assist legislation users.

Section 62, as amended by this part, is also relocated to new part 3B by another amendment.
[1.36]	Section 62 (2), definition of complying pharmacy corporation
substitute
complying pharmacy corporation means a corporation that—
	(a)	has a constitution that provides that—
	(i)	the object of the corporation is to own and control a pharmacy business; and
	(ii)	only an individual who is a pharmacist may be a director; and
	(iii)	a director cannot be a director of another pharmacy corporation without the written consent of the board; and

	(d)	has a constitution that is appropriate to a corporation formed to own and control a pharmacy business.
Explanatory note
This amendment replaces a signpost definition to the Health Act 1993, section 128A, which is omitted by another amendment. The definition of complying pharmacy corporation is amended to provide that the object of the corporation is not to practise as a pharmacist but to own and control a pharmacy business. This makes the definition consistent with the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (ACT) which provides that only an individual can be a health practitioner.  The requirement for a trust deed to have written approval by the National Pharmacy Board is also omitted as the Board no longer undertakes that function.
[1.37]	Section 62 (as amended)

Explanatory note
This amendment relocates a section which deals with pharmacies and pharmacy premises to a new part in the Public Health Act 1997, to which other provisions relating to pharmacy ownership and premises are being relocated.
