Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2017-09-13.
The bill updates references in two Commonwealth Acts to match a 2016 New South Wales law that reorganised the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
It changes the titles of the commission's leadership from a single Commissioner and Assistant Commissioners to a Chief Commissioner and two part-time Commissioners, with Assistant Commissioners appointed as needed.
The bill does not alter the commission's existing powers under the TIA Act or the SD Act.
- Amends the TIA Act and the SD Act to reflect the restructured commission.
- Replaces references to the former single Commissioner and Assistant Commissioners with the new Chief Commissioner and two part-time Commissioners.
- Confirms the commission retains its existing status as an interception agency and criminal law enforcement agency.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (NSW) and officers within it.
