LONG SERVICE LEAVE (PORTABLE SCHEMES) AMENDMENT BILL 2011

This explanatory statement supplements the explanatory statement to the Long Service Leave (Portable Schemes) Amendment Bill 2011 (the Bill) as introduced into the Legislative Assembly on 8 December 2011.

Outline of Amendments

Amendment 1

This amendment omits 5 business days and substitutes 28 days in recognition that this timeframe will better accommodate the Long Service Leave Board’s monthly meetings to review a decision affecting an applicant.

Amendment 2

This amendment omits the proposed new section 80C (2) as the new timeframe in the proposed new section 80C (1), as amended, negates the need for this provision.

Amendment 3

This amendment ensures a decision by the governing board under section 69 (4) of the Bill is a reviewable decision under section 82 of the Bill – ‘Review of decisions by ACAT’.
