Commodity Levies Act 1990

Levy orders

12: Minister must indicate whether orders to continue in force

You could also call this:

"The Minister decides if a levy order stays or goes and tells everyone what they plan to do."

Illustration for Commodity Levies Act 1990

The Minister who recommended a levy order must tell people what they plan to do with it. They do this by publishing a notice in the Gazette at least 6 months before a certain deadline. This deadline is set out in subpart 3 of Part 5 of the Legislation Act 2019, which is called the 6-month date.

You need to know that the Minister does not have to do this if the levy order has already been revoked, disallowed under subpart 2 of Part 5 of the Legislation Act 2019, or confirmed by an Act before the 6-month date.

The Minister's decision about the levy order is important because it affects what happens to the order.
