Objectives of the Bill
The bill proposes to amend the State Penalties Enforcement Act 1999, the State Penalties Enforcement Regulation 2014 and the State Penalties Enforcement Amendment Act 2017 to:
- implement an integrated approach to managing fines for camera-detected offences and tolling offences, with functions centralised in a single agency – the Queensland Revenue Office
- provide a framework for the earlier registration of unpaid infringement notices with the State Penalties Enforcement Registry (SPER) for enforcement
- make miscellaneous amendments to modernise the operation of the State Penalties Enforcement Act 1999 and support the effective administration of SPER.
The bill also proposes to:
- make consequential amendments to the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995 and the Traffic Regulation 1962 on account of the integrated approach to fines management
- amend the Land Tax Act 2010 to ensure that trustees of Special Disability Trusts are subject to the higher tax-free threshold and lower land tax rates that apply to individuals
- amend the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008 to provide stable funding for the Residential Tenancies Authority and ensure security of residential bonds on behalf of Queensland tenants
- modernise the confidentiality provisions in the State Penalties Enforcement Act 1999 and the Taxation Administration Act 2001.
