Title
Description
- The majority voted to pass the [bill](http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id:legislation/billhome/r5714) in the Senate. Since the bill had already passed in the House of Representatives, it will now become law.
- In parliamentary jargon, the Members of Parliament (MPs) voted to [read the bill for a third time](http://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html).
### Main idea of the bill- ### What does the bill do?
- The bill is rather technical. According to the [bills digest](http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/bd/bd1617a/17bd023), its purpose is to:
- * *clarify apportionment arrangements relating to certain petroleum deposits that straddle state and Commonwealth jurisdictions*; and
- * *ensure the capacity of the [National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Offshore_Petroleum_Safety_and_Environmental_Management_Authority) (NOPSEMA) to refund fees paid to it where necessary*.
