EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
General
This Bill extends the operation of the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled
Substances (Volatile Substances) Act 2003 which inserted new Division 2
into Part IV of the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Act 1981
giving the police particular powers when dealing with young people using
inhalants. This Bill will enable Division 2 of Part IV of that Act to continue
to operate for a further two years, until 1 July 2008.
Clause Notes
Clause 1 sets out the main purpose of the Act.
Clause 2 is the commencement provision. It provides for the Bill to come
into operation on the day after the day on which it receives the
Royal Assent.
Clause 3 amends section 2(3) of Drugs, Poisons and Controlled
Substances (Volatile Substances) Act 2003 by substituting the
word "fourth" for "second", thereby extending the operation of
Division 2 of Part IV of the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled
Substances Act 1981 for a further two years.
