On 11 October 2023, Mr Tim Nicholls, Member for Clayfield, introduced the Crime and Corruption Amendment Bill into the Queensland Parliament. The Bill was referred to the former Legal Affairs and Safety Committee. On 13 February 2024, the Legislative Assembly amended Schedule 6 of the Standing Rules and Orders of the Legislative Assembly, establishing the Community Safety and Legal Affairs Committee, and transferred the Bill to the Community Safety and Legal Affairs Committee for detailed consideration.

The purpose of the Bill is to remedy the deficiency in the reporting powers of the Crime and Corruption Act 2001 (CCC Act) found by the High Court in Crime and Corruption Commission v Carne [2023] HCA 28.
The Bill will also reverse a 2018 amendment that omitted the Director of Prosecutions from s49 of the CCC Act (s12 Crime and Corruption and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2018). The reversal of the 2018 amendment was recommended by both the Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee's Report No. 108, 57th Parliament, Inquiry into the Crime and Corruption Commission’s investigation of former councillors of Logan City Council; and related matters, and the Commission of Inquiry relating to the Crime and Corruption Commission.
