15th Feb 2021, 7:49 PM – Senate Export Control Amendment (Miscellaneous Measures) Bill 2020 - Third Reading - Pass the bill
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion to read the bill a third time - parliamentary jargon for passing the bill in the Senate. Because it has already passed in the House of Representatives, it will now become law.
What does the bill do?
According to the bills digest, the bill was introduced to:
- clarify the operation of the fit and proper person test when varying the registration of export establishments
- provide greater flexibility in the requirements for lodging a Notice of Intention to export
- enable the Rules to provide guidance in relation to the approval of export permits
- enable the Rules to modify provisions of the 2020 Act and the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975 in relation to review of tariff rate quota certificate decisions and
- provide that the Rules may incorporate matters contained in agreements between Australia and other countries that relate to tariff rate quotas.
