221: Appointments

You could also call this:

“How some officials keep their jobs when laws change”

The warrants of traffic officers appointed under the Transport Act 1962 are no longer valid. This means that if you were a traffic officer under that old law, your authority to act as one has been cancelled.

If you were a member of the Board of the Agency when section 184 of this new law started, you can keep your position. You’ll stay in office until your appointment would have ended under the old Land Transport Act 1993, just as if this new law hadn’t been made.

If you were a member of a regional land transport committee when section 178 of this new law began, you can also keep your position. You’ll continue in office until your appointment would have finished under the old Land Transport Act 1993, as if this new law hadn’t come into effect.

If you were a hazardous substances enforcement officer under section 70K of the Transport Act 1962 when this new law started, you’re now considered to be a dangerous goods enforcement officer under section 208 of this new law. This means your job title and responsibilities have changed slightly, but you still have a similar role.
