House of Representatives

Measures to Combat Serious and Organised Crime Bill 2001

Explanatory Memorandum

(Circulated by authority of the Minister for Justice and Customs, Senator the Honourable Chris Ellison)
This Memorandum takes account of amendments made by the Senate to the Bill as introduced

Schedule 7 - Pardons, quashed convictions and spent convictions

Crimes Act 1914

Item 1

This Item repeals paragraph (e) of the definition of law enforcement agency in section 85ZL (which currently refers to the National Exchange of Police Information) and replaces it with a reference to the CrimTrac Agency. This proposed amendment is consequential on assumption by the CrimTrac Agency of the responsibilities formally carried out by the National Exchange of Police Information.
