426: Validation of levy

You could also call this:

“Explains that money collected from certain fees in the past is considered legal and proper”

If you paid money to the Authority because of levies (special charges) under Part 3A of the old Act, you should know that this money was collected properly and legally. This has always been true, even if there were any doubts before. The government wants to make sure everyone understands that these payments were correct and valid from the start.
