EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Race and Sports Bookmaking Act 2001 (the Act) regulates the activities of race and sports bookmakers within the ACT.

This instrument revokes the determination of fees made by Disallowable Instrument DI2012-116, notified on the Legislation Register on 18 June 2012.

Section 97 of the Act provides that the Minister may determine fees for the Act.  This instrument provides for the fees for the licensing arrangements of race bookmakers, race bookmaker’s agents, sports bookmakers and sports bookmaker’s agents.

This instrument increases fees in accordance with the Wage Price Index estimates for 2013-14 of 3%.  Rounding to the nearest dollar has occurred in relation to the increases.  A comparative table indicating the previous and revised fees is included as an attachment to this Explanatory Statement.

The list of revised fees contained in this instrument is identical to the list of fees in the Disallowable Instrument DI2012-116.

A determination under section 97 is a disallowable instrument and must be tabled in the Legislative Assembly.
