This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Offshore Renewable Energy Bill

Amendments to other Acts - Amendments to Exclusive Economic Zone and Continental Shelf (Environmental Effects) Act 2012

173: Section 4 amended (Interpretation)

You could also call this:

"Changing what some words mean in the existing law to make it clearer and update it."

Illustration for Offshore Renewable Energy Bill

The proposed law change affects what some words mean in an existing law. You will see changes to the definitions of two terms: 'accepted decommissioning plan' and 'non-notified activity'. These changes add new references to sections 100F and 38C.

When you look at the definition of 'accepted decommissioning plan', you will see it now includes a reference to section 100F, in addition to section 100B. You will also see a change to the definition of 'non-notified activity', which now includes a reference to section 38C, in addition to section 38(3). These changes are part of a bigger proposed law change to update the existing law.
