This amendment brings the structure of the provision into line with current drafting practice and includes provision for an officer who is a member of the Public Sector Superannuation Accumulation Plan (or PSSAP) established under the Superannuation Act 2005 (Cwlth).

Schedule 2	Structural amendments
(see s 5)
Part 2.1	Legislation Act 2001
[2.1]	Section 227 (2) (b)
substitute
	(b)	a person to, or to act in, a statutory position for not longer than 6 months, unless the appointment is of the person to, or to act in, the position for a 2nd or subsequent consecutive period; or
Explanatory note
Section 227 deals with the application of division 19.3.3.  The division is about consultation with Legislative Assembly committees on appointments made by Ministers to statutory positions.  It also provides that the instrument making, or evidencing, an appointment to which the division applies is a disallowable instrument.
Section 227 (2) provides 3 exceptions to the application of the division.  First, the appointment of a public servant to a statutory position.  Second, short-term acting appointments.  Third, an appointment the only function of which is to advise the Minister.  This amendment is concerned with the 2nd exception.  
Existing section 227 (2) (b) excludes the appointment of a person to act in a statutory position for not longer than 6 months, unless the appointment is of the person to act in the position for a 2nd or subsequent consecutive period.  The provision does not presently deal with substantive appointments.  The amendment extends the exception to short-term, one-off substantive appointments.  The effect of the amendment is to remove the anomalous different treatment of substantive appointments.  This is in keeping with the approach taken elsewhere in part 19.3 of treating substantive and acting appointments in the same way as far as possible.
[2.2]	Dictionary, part 1, definition of emergency services authority
omit
Explanatory note
This amendment omits a redundant definition.  The emergency services authority was abolished by the Administrative (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2006.
[2.3]	Dictionary, part 1, new definition of institute of technology
insert
institute of technology means the Canberra Institute of Technology under the Canberra Institute of Technology Act 1987.
Explanatory note
This amendment inserts a new definition into the dictionary, part 1.
[2.4]	Dictionary, part 1, definition of territory instrumentality, note
substitute
Note	Territory instrumentality is defined in the Public Sector Management Act 1994, dict.
Explanatory note
This amendment is consequential on the insertion of a new dictionary into the Public Sector Management Act 1994 by an amendment in schedule 3.

Schedule 3	Technical amendments
(see s 5)
Part 3.1	ACTEW/AGL Partnership Facilitation Act 2000
[3.1]	Dictionary, definition of joint venture entity
substitute
joint venture entity—
	(a)	for this Act generally, means—
	(i)	ACTEW; or
	(ii)	AGL; or
	(iii)	a company that is—
	(A)	a participant in a partnership; and
	(B)	is, under the Corporations Act, a related body corporate to ACTEW or AGL; and
	(b)	for part 4 (Secondment of ACTEW employees)—see section 22.
Explanatory note
This amendment updates the definition in accordance with current drafting practice by including a signpost definition for part 4.
[3.2]	Dictionary, new definitions
insert
maintenance, for a network facility, for part 2 (Rights concerning certain network facilities)—see section 8.
network facility, for part 2 (Rights concerning certain network facilities)—see section 8.

Part 3.2	Administration and Probate Act 1929
[3.3]	New sections 2 and 3
insert
2	Dictionary
The dictionary at the end of this Act is part of this Act.
Note 1	The dictionary at the end of this Act defines certain terms used in this Act.
Note 2	A definition in the dictionary applies to the entire Act unless the definition, or another provision of the Act, provides otherwise or the contrary intention otherwise appears (see Legislation Act, s 155 and s 156 (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.
Explanatory note
This amendment inserts standard dictionary and notes provisions consequent on the insertion of a new dictionary by another amendment.
[3.4]	Section 5 (1), definition of court
omit
Explanatory note
This amendment omits a definition that is made unnecessary by other amendments.
[3.5]	Section 5 (1), definition of deceased person or the deceased
omit
Explanatory note
This amendment omits an unnecessary definition.  The definition provides that ‘deceased person or the deceased means a person dying on or after 1 July 1929’.
[3.6]	Section 5 (1), definition of public trustee
omit
Explanatory note
This amendment omits an unnecessary definition.  The term ‘public trustee’ is defined in the Legislation Act, dictionary, part 1.
[3.7]	Section 5 (1), definition of rules

substitute
In the administration of the estate of a deceased person,

omit

substitute
In the administration of the estate of a deceased person
Explanatory note
This amendment omits a redundant transitional provision.
[3.12]	New dictionary
insert
Dictionary
(see s 2)
Note 1	The Legislation Act contains definitions and other provisions relevant to this Act.
Note 2	For example, the Legislation Act, dict, pt 1, defines the following terms:
·	ACT
·	Commonwealth country
·	foreign country
·	land
·	public trustee
·	State
·	Supreme Court.
public trustee, in relation to a foreign country, includes an officer of the country who is entitled under a law of the country to apply, if a deceased person has died intestate leaving no next of kin, to a court for an order that authorises the officer to administer the estate of the deceased person.
Explanatory note
This amendment inserts a new dictionary in accordance with current drafting practice.  The definition of public trustee follows existing section 5 (2) which is omitted by another amendment but with the term ‘country’ changed to ‘foreign country’ in accordance with current drafting practice.

Part 3.3	Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1989
[3.15]	New section 1A
insert
1A	Dictionary
The dictionary at the end of this Act is part of this Act.
Note 1	The dictionary at the end of this Act defines certain terms used in this Act, and includes references (signpost definitions) to other terms defined elsewhere.
	For example, the signpost definition ‘registered mediator—see the Mediation Act 1997, dictionary.’ means that the term ‘registered mediator’ is defined in that dictionary and the definition applies to this Act.
Note 2	A definition in the dictionary (including a signpost definition) applies to the entire Act unless the definition, or another provision of the Act, provides otherwise or the contrary intention otherwise appears (see Legislation Act, s 155 and s 156 (1)).

[3.18]	Section 32 (4)
omit
in accordance with subsection (2)
substitute
under section 19A (Exercise of powers of tribunal)
Explanatory note
The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (Amendment) Act 1996 inserted section 19A (Exercise of powers of tribunal) and omitted section 32 (2).  At that time, section 32 (2) provided which member of the tribunal could give a direction about the procedure to be followed in connection with the hearing of a proceeding.  The explanatory statement for the amending Act indicates that the omission of section 32 (2) was consequential on the insertion of section 19A.  The amending Act did not, consequent on the omission of section 32 (2), consequentially amend the reference to subsection (2) in what was then section 32 (3) (now subsection (4)).  This amendment corrects that by substituting a reference to section 19A.

Existing section 61 (2), which gives the tribunal power to do everything necessary or convenient to be done in relation to the carrying out of its functions, is omitted because the Legislation Act, section 196 provides that a provision of a law that gives an entity (including a person) a function also gives the entity powers necessary and convenient to exercise the function.  A note to that effect is included in the substituted section.
[3.118]	Section 62 (2), new notes
insert
Note 1	For the making of appointments (including acting appointments), see the Legislation Act, pt 19.3. 
Note 2	In particular, an appointment may be made by naming a person or nominating the occupant of a position (see Legislation Act, s 207).
Note 3	Certain Ministerial appointments require consultation with an Assembly committee and are disallowable (see Legislation Act, div 19.3.3). 
Explanatory note
This amendment inserts standard appointment notes to assist users of the legislation.
[3.119]	Section 66 (b)
omit
Explanatory note
This amendment omits an unnecessary provision.  The paragraph requires the instrument of appointment for a member of the credit tribunal to state the period for which the member is appointed.  This is not necessary because the Legislation Act, section 206 (2) provides that if a law provides for a maximum period of appointment, the instrument of appointment must state the period for which the appointment is made.
[3.120]	Section 67 (2) (b)
substitute
	(b)	if the member becomes bankrupt or executes a personal insolvency agreement.
Explanatory note
The Bankruptcy Legislation Amendment Act 2004 (Cwlth) amended the Bankruptcy Act 1966 (Cwlth) to replace the concepts of deed of assignment, deed of arrangement and composition with the new single concept of personal insolvency agreement.  This amendment brings the paragraph into line with the new concept.
[3.121]	Section 69 (4)
substitute
	(4)	The registrar may delegate to a public servant the registrar’s functions under this Act.
Note	For the making of delegations and the exercise of delegated functions, see the Legislation Act, pt 19.4.
Explanatory note
This amendment updates the delegation provision and inserts a standard note about delegations.  The Legislation Act, section 232 requires a delegation to be made by writing signed by the appointer.  The Legislation Act, section 234 allows the delegation of any part of functions that may be delegated.
[3.122]	Division 7.1 heading

Explanatory note
This amendment is consequential on the omission of section 110 by another amendment.
[3.123]	Section 109, new note
insert
Note	A provision of a law that gives an entity (including a person) a function also gives the entity the powers necessary and convenient to exercise the function (see Legislation Act, s 196 (1) and dict, pt 1, defs of entity and function).
Explanatory note
This amendment inserts a standard note about the powers of an entity and is consequential on the omission of section 110 by the next amendment.
[3.124]	Section 110
omit
Explanatory note
This amendment omits an unnecessary provision.  It states that the commissioner has power to do all things necessary or convenient to be done for or in connection with the exercise of his or her functions under the consumer credit legislation.  This is unnecessary because the Legislation Act, section 196 provides that a provision of a law that gives an entity (including a person) a function also gives the entity powers necessary and convenient to exercise the function.  A note to that effect is added to section 109 by the previous amendment.
[3.125]	Section 117
substitute
117	Investigators
An investigation for section 109 (a) or (b) may be made by the commissioner or a person authorised, in writing, by the commissioner.
Note 1	An investigator is the commissioner or a person authorised under this section (see the dictionary, definition of investigator).
Note 2	For the issue of an identity card to an investigator, see the Fair Trading (Consumer Affairs) Act 1973, section 10.
Explanatory note
This amendment revises existing section 117 (1) so that it is clear that, in accordance with the definition of investigator in existing section 3, that an investigator is the commissioner or a person authorised under section 117.
Existing section 117 (2), which requires the commissioner to issue an identity card under the Fair Trading (Consumer Affairs) Act 1973, section 15 to each investigator, is omitted because that Act, section 10 requires the commissioner to issue an identity card.  A note to that effect is added to new section 117.
[3.126]	Section 124
substitute
124	Continuation of fund
The financial counselling trust fund is established.
Note	The Legislation Act, dict, pt 1 defines establish as including continue in existence.
Explanatory note
Existing section 124 (1) is amended by omitting a reference to the fund ‘in existence under the Credit Act 1985 immediately before the commencement of this part continues in existence by force of this section with the same name’ and substituting a note about the meaning of ‘establish’.
Existing section 124 (2), which provides that the money constituting the fund immediately before the commencement of this part continues to form part of the fund, is omitted because it is a redundant transitional provision.
[3.127]	Section 140A (2), new note

Note	For other provisions about forms, see the Legislation Act, s 255.
Explanatory note
This amendment inserts a standard note to assist users of the legislation.

This amendment also remakes subsection (2) in accordance with current drafting practice.
The existing reference to holding office for the period specified in the instrument of appointment is omitted.  It is unnecessary because the Legislation Act, section 206 (2) provides that if a law provides for a maximum period of appointment, the instrument of appointment must state the period for which the appointment is made.
The existing reference to eligibility for reappointment is unnecessary because the Legislation Act, section 208 (1) provides that if a person is eligible for appointment the person may be reappointed.  A standard note about reappointment is added.

contaminated, in relation to land, means the presence in, on or under the land, or a building or structure on the land, of a substance at a concentration above the concentration at which the substance is normally present in, on or under land, or a building or structure on land, in the same locality, if the presence causes, or is likely to cause either or both of the following:
	(a)	a risk of harm to human health;
	(b)	a risk of environmental harm.
	(2)	For subsection (1), land may be contaminated even if it became contaminated partly or entirely by the migration of contaminants into, onto or under the land from other land.
	(3)	However, land is not contaminated only because in any surface water standing or running on the land a substance is present in a concentration above the concentration at which the substance is normally present in, on or under land, or a building or structure on land, in the same locality.
Explanatory note

Note 1	The dictionary at the end of this Act defines certain terms used in this Act, and includes references (signpost definitions) to other terms defined elsewhere in this Act.
For example, the signpost definition ‘authorised person—see section 4.’ means that the term ‘authorised person’ is defined in that section.

The dictionary includes updated definitions of the terms acquiring authority and interest (which are omitted from section 3 by another amendment) incorporating, in accordance with current drafting practice, a signpost definition for each of the terms for other provisions of the Act.
Part 3.55	Land Titles Act 1925
[3.294]	Section 1
substitute
1	Name of Act
This Act is the Land Titles Act 1925.
Explanatory note
This amendment brings the naming section into line with current drafting practice.
[3.295]	Sections 3, 3A and 5
omit
Explanatory note
Sections 3 and 3A are omitted because they are redundant transitional provisions.  The sections relate to the application of the Real Property Act 1900 (NSW) to land in the ACT until it was brought under the Act.  Section 5 is remade in an updated form by another amendment as new section 5.
[3.296]	Section 6 (1), definition of commission
omit
Explanatory note
This amendment omits the definition consequent on the insertion by another amendment of a new definition of Federal Capital Commission.  
[3.297]	Section 6 (1), definition of computer
omit
Explanatory note
This amendment omits the definition of computer.  The term is defined as meaning ‘a device for storing or processing information’ and is unnecessary given the ordinary meaning of the term.
[3.298]	Section 6 (1), new definition of court
insert
court means the Supreme Court or any other court having jurisdiction in relation to the matters mentioned in this Act.
Explanatory note
This amendment is consequential on the omission of the definition of the court by another amendment.
[3.299]	Section 6 (1), definition of Crown lease
omit
commission
substitute
Federal Capital Commission
Explanatory note
This amendment is consequential on the amendment of the definition of commission by another amendment.
[3.300]	Section 6 (1), new definition of Federal Capital Commission
insert
Federal Capital Commission means the Federal Capital Commission under the Seat of Government (Administration) Act 1924 (Cwlth).
Explanatory note
This amendment allows the proper name of the commission to be used in the definitions of Crown lease and grant which are consequentially amended by other amendments.
[3.301]	Section 6 (1), definition of grant
substitute
grant means the grant by the Crown of land for a term of years, and includes—
	(a)	a grant by or in the name of the Commonwealth or by the Federal Capital Commission; and
	(b)	the grant of a new lease over part of the land in a surrendered lease.
Explanatory note
This amendment remakes the definition with several changes. 
·	First, the reference to an estate of freehold is omitted.  Under the Australian Capital Territory (Planning and Land Management) Act 1988 (Cwlth), section 29 (3), the term of an estate in Territory Land granted on or after Self‑Government Day must not exceed 99 years or such longer period as is prescribed.  This provision prevents the territory from granting freehold estates in land. 
·	Second, the reference to a grant for a life or lives is omitted.  Crown leases are granted for a term of years.
·	Finally, the substance of existing section 6 (3) (which is omitted by another amendment) is remade in an updated form as paragraph (b) of the definition.
[3.302]	Section 6 (1), definition of land
omit
Explanatory note
This amendment omits an unnecessary definition that is also not in accordance with current drafting practice. 
The definition has 3 elements.  First, as including ‘messuages, tenements and hereditaments, corporeal and incorporeal, of every kind and description, or any interest in the land’.  This element is a duplication of the definition of the term land in the Legislation Act, dictionary, part 1.  The second element is an elaboration of the first element:  ‘together with all paths, passages, ways, watercourses, liberties, privileges, easements, plantations, gardens, mines, minerals, and quarries, and all trees and timber thereon or thereunder lying or being’ and is a description of things that are either part of the land (eg gardens and quarries) or are attached to the land as an interest in the land (eg privileges and easements).  The final element provides that the definition applies ‘unless any such [of the things mentioned for the second element] are specially excepted’.  These words are redundant because a definition applies unless a contrary intention applies (see Legislation Act, s 155).
[3.303]	Section 6 (1), definition of the court
omit
Explanatory note
This amendment omits a definition which is not in accordance with current drafting practice.  The omitted definition has 2 elements.  First, it defines the court as meaning the Supreme Court or any other court having jurisdiction in respect of the matters referred to in the Act.  This element is included, in an updated form, in the new definition of court which is inserted by another amendment. Second, for stated provisions, the definition extends the meaning of the term to include the Family Court of Australia and any other court having jurisdiction under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cwlth).  Other amendments amend the stated provisions (except s 126 and s 127 which have been repealed) to define court as including this second element. 
[3.304]	Section 6 (1), definitions (as amended)
relocate to dictionary
Explanatory note
This amendment relocates the definitions to a new dictionary that is inserted by another amendment.
[3.305]	Section 6, remainder
substitute
2	Dictionary
The dictionary at the end of this Act is part of this Act.
Note 1	The dictionary at the end of this Act defines certain terms used in this Act, and includes references (signpost definitions) to other terms defined elsewhere in this Act.
	For example, the signpost definition ‘registrable form, for an instrument—see section 4.’ means that the term ‘registrable form’ is defined in that section.
Note 2	A definition in the dictionary (including a signpost definition) applies to the entire Act unless the definition, or another provision of the Act, provides otherwise or the contrary intention otherwise appears (see Legislation Act, s 155 and s 156 (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	Meaning of registrable form
For this Act, an instrument is in registrable form if—
	(a)	the instrument does not require a material correction, alteration or addition; and
	(b)	the instrument is in the form (if any) approved under section 140 (Approved forms); and
	(c)	any certificate of title or other document that is required to be produced under section 14 (1) (a) (Powers of registrar-general) for the instrument is produced when the instrument is lodged; and
	(d)	the instrument is otherwise in accordance with this Act or another law in force in the ACT.
Note	A reference to an Act includes a reference to the statutory instruments made or in force under the Act, including any regulation (see Legislation Act, s 104).
5	Application to married women’s property
Nothing in this Act is taken to affect or control any other territory law which deals with married women’s property.
Explanatory note
This amendment inserts standard dictionary and notes provisions consequent on the insertion of a new dictionary by another amendment.
The definitions in existing section 6 (1) are updated and relocated to the dictionary by other amendments. 
Existing section 6 (2) provides that references to a person as a proprietor, transferor, mortgagor etc includes the heirs, executors, administrators and assigns of the person.  This provision is unnecessary because the Legislation Act, section 168 provides that a reference to a person with an interest in land or other property includes a reference to the person’s personal representatives, successors and assigns.
Existing section 6 (3) is remade in an updated form as part of the definition of grant by another amendment.
Existing section 6 (4) provides that expressions used in any document or instrument purporting to be made or executed under this Act shall, unless the contrary intention appears, have the same meanings as in the Act.  This provision is unnecessary because the Legislation Act, section 104 provides to the same effect.
Existing section 6 (5) is remade in an updated form as new section 4.
This amendment also remakes existing section 5 in an updated form.  The reference to ‘any law in force in the ACT’ in existing section 5 is changed to ‘any other territory law’ in new section 5.  This is because a territory law cannot override any Commonwealth law in relation to the matter which may be in force in the ACT.
[3.306]	New section 99 (4)
insert
	(4)	In this section:
court includes the Family Court of Australia and any other court having jurisdiction under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cwlth).

[3.311]	Section 165 heading
substitute
165	Offence for certain fraudulent acts
Explanatory note
This amendment omits a reference to ‘misdemeanours’ in the heading.  The distinction between felonies and misdemeanours has been abolished in the Territory (see the Crimes Act 1900, s 9).  The section itself does not deal with misdemeanours.

[3.339]	Section 27 (2)
substitute
	(2)	Subject to subsection (3), an inspector or police officer may seize any liquor within the meaning of any of the following sections that the inspector or police officer has reasonable grounds for suspecting to be connected with the commission of an offence against the section:
	(a)	section 139 (Consumption of liquor in certain public places);
	(b)	section 152 (Sale or supply of liquor to under-age people);
	(c)	section 153 (Offence by licensee for possession or consumption of liquor by under-age people);
	(d)	section 154 (Buying, possession and consumption of liquor by 
under-age people);
	(e)	section 155 (Sending under-age people to obtain liquor).
Explanatory note
This amendment remakes the subsection to bring it more closely into line with current drafting practice and to make clear the meaning of ‘liquor’ for the section.  The existing subsection provides that a seizure of liquor may be made for ‘an offence against section 139, section 152, section 153, section 154 or section 155, being liquor within the meaning of that section’.  It is not clear which section is being referred to.  However, liquor is defined in both section 139 (5), and in section 151 for division 10.2 (where sections 152 to 155 are located), as ‘a beverage that contains more than 0.5% by volume of ethyl alcohol’.  Accordingly, the remade subsection links the meaning of liquor more clearly to the relevant section.

The existing reference to eligibility for reappointment is unnecessary because the Legislation Act, section 208 (1) provides that if a person is eligible for appointment the person may be reappointed.  A standard note about reappointment is added.
[3.390]	Section 26 
omit
(commencement:  the later of the commencement of this Act and the Human Rights Commission Legislation Amendment Act 2005, schedule 1, part 1.10)
Explanatory note
This amendment removes an unnecessary provision about resignation from office. The Legislation Act, section 210 provides for the resignation of a person from a statutory appointment.  A standard note about resignation is added to section 28 (1) by the next amendment. 
[3.391]	Section 28 (1), new note
insert
Note	The ombudsman’s appointment also ends if the ombudsman resigns (see Legislation Act, s 210).
(commencement:  the later of the commencement of this Act and the Human Rights Commission Legislation Amendment Act 2005, schedule 1, part 1.10)
Explanatory note
This amendment is consequential on the omission of section 26 by the previous amendment.
[3.392]	Section 28 (3) and (4)
substitute
	(3)	The Minister must present a statement of the grounds of the suspension to the Legislative Assembly not later than 7 sitting days after the day the ombudsman is suspended from office.
	(4)	If a statement is presented to the Legislative Assembly under subsection (3)—
	(a)	the Assembly may, not later than 15 sitting days after the day the statement is presented to the Assembly, by resolution, declare that the ombudsman should be removed from office; and
	(b)	if the Assembly makes a declaration under paragraph (a)—the Executive must remove the ombudsman from office.
(commencement:  the later of the commencement of this Act and the Human Rights Commission Legislation Amendment Act 2005, schedule 1, part 1.10)
Explanatory note
This amendment updates language.	
[3.393]	Section 28 (6)
substitute

(commencement:  the later of the commencement of this Act and the Human Rights Commission Legislation Amendment Act 2005, schedule 1, part 1.10)
Explanatory note
The Bankruptcy Legislation Amendment Act 2004 (Cwlth) amended the Bankruptcy Act 1966 (Cwlth) to replace the concepts of deed of assignment, deed of arrangement and composition with the new single concept of personal insolvency agreement.  This amendment updates language and brings the subsection into line with the new concept.
[3.394]	Section 29
substitute
29	Acting appointment
If the Commonwealth ombudsman holds the office of ombudsman, a person appointed under the Ombudsman Act 1976 (Cwlth) to act in the office of Commonwealth ombudsman during an absence or unavailability of the Commonwealth ombudsman may act in the office of ombudsman under this Act during the absence or unavailability.
(commencement:  the later of the commencement of this Act and the Human Rights Commission Legislation Amendment Act 2005, schedule 1, part 1.10)
Explanatory note
This amendment omits unnecessary provisions about acting appointments.
Section 29 (1), which is about the circumstances of when an acting appointment may be made, is unnecessary because of the Legislation Act, section 209, which provides the circumstances where acting appointments may be made, including during any period when an appointee cannot for any reason exercise functions of the position.
Section 29 (3) provides that anything done by or in relation to an acting member is not invalid merely because the occasion for the appointment had not arisen, there was a defect or irregularity in relation to the appointment, the appointment had ceased to have effect or the occasion to act had not arisen or had ceased.  This provision is unnecessary because the Legislation Act, section 225 is to the same effect as the subsection. 
[3.395]	Section 31 (2)
omit
(commencement:  the later of the commencement of this Act and the Human Rights Commission Legislation Amendment Act 2005, schedule 1, part 1.10)
Explanatory note
This amendment removes an unnecessary provision.  The Legislation Act, section 239 provides that anything done by or in relation to the delegate in the exercise of the delegation is taken to have been done by or in relation to the appointer.
