REPEAL OF REGULATIONS POSTPONEMENT BILL 49 OF 2009

FACT SHEET

Repeal of Regulations Postponement Bill 2009

The Subordinate Legislation Act provides for the systematic repeal of subordinate
legislation over a rolling 10-year period. If regulations are to continue to have effect they
must be remade in accordance with the requirements of the Act.

Each year for a variety of reasons the Government needs to defer the repeal of a number
of regulations that fall due for automatic repeal under the Subordinate Legislation Act
1992.

This Bill will postpone until 1 January 2011 the automatic repeal of Rail Safety
Regulations 1999, the Passenger Transport Regulations 2000 and the Passenger
Transport (Review of Decisions) Regulations 2000 which are due to expire during the
next twelve (12) months to ensure that they can continue in operation past those dates.

Deferring the automatic repeal of the regulations when necessary is essential for the
effective operation of government and administration of legislation. The making of
interim regulations to take effect between the automatic repeal of one set of regulations
and the commencement of new regulations often under revised or new Acts can be an
unnecessary waste of resources.
