Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2014-11-27.
This bill is part of a package of three bills that would allow the Commonwealth to recover costs for indirect biosecurity services under the Biosecurity Bill.
It would amend the Quarantine Charges (Imposition–General) Act 2014 to enable charges to be imposed for activities such as scientific analysis, intelligence and surveillance that benefit users of the biosecurity system.
The amount of charges and who pays them would be set in delegated legislation, allowing the Minister for Agriculture to adjust them to avoid over or under recovery.
