Customer and Product Data Bill

Administrative matters - Annual reporting by data holders and accredited requestors

114: Contravention of specified annual report requirement is infringement offence

You could also call this:

“Breaking rules about yearly reports can lead to fines”

This part of the bill explains what happens if you don’t follow certain rules about annual reports. If you break these rules, you might have to pay a fine. The fine could be $20,000, or if you go to court, it could be up to $50,000. The bill also explains that the specific rules about annual reports that you need to follow will be listed in other parts of the law. These rules are called ‘specified annual report requirements’. You can find more information about these requirements in sections 112 and 113 of the bill.
