As set out in the explanatory notes, the Bill’s primary objective is to implement recommendations of the Education, Employment and Training Committee following its recent inquiry into the operation of the Trading (Allowable Hours) Act 1990.
The Bill also amends the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006 and Education (Queensland College of Teachers) Act 2005 to make permanent the temporary arrangements that were put in place during the COVID-19 public health emergency. According to the explanatory notes, the policy objectives for these amendments are to modernise provisions by clarifying that:
- meetings related to Queensland College of Teachers investigations, and the production of items required at meetings, can occur via post or online, rather than in person; and
- communication technology can be used to enable attendance at parents and citizens’ association meetings.
