Animal Products Act 1999

Offences, penalties, and proceedings - Infringement offences

125E: Regulations about infringement offences

You could also call this:

"Rules about fines for breaking animal product laws"

The Governor-General can make regulations about infringement offences. You need to know that these regulations can identify which offences in the Animal Products Act are infringement offences. They can also set out the notices and forms that are required for certain sections of the Act, such as sections 125A to 125D.

The regulations can specify the amounts of infringement fees, up to $1,000, that are payable for infringement offences, including different fees for a first offence, a second offence, and subsequent offences. If you want to know more about how these regulations are published, you can look at Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.

These regulations are a type of secondary legislation, which means they are made under the authority of the Act. They can include things like the amount you have to pay if you break certain rules, and what happens if you break those rules more than once.
