149M: Obligation to publish and present amendments to statement of performance expectations

You could also call this:

"Crown entities must publish and present changes to their performance plans to the public and Parliament."

Illustration for Crown Entities Act 2004

When a Crown entity makes a change to its statement of performance expectations, you need to know what happens next. As soon as the change is finalised under section 149J or 149K, the entity must put the change on its website. The Minister in charge must also give a copy of the change to the House of Representatives.

If the change will start on or after the next Budget day, the Minister can ask the entity not to put the change on its website until later. The Minister does not have to give the change to the House of Representatives until later either. You should be aware that the entity cannot put the change on its website before it puts the original statement of performance expectations on its website under section 149L.

The Minister cannot give the change to the House of Representatives before giving the original statement to the House under section 149L. If Parliament is not meeting, the Minister does not have to give the change to the House of Representatives right away, but must do so as soon as Parliament meets again.
