SECTION 15T   Registration of compilations  

Required compilation events for Acts

(1)    
If a required compilation event occurs for an Act, the First Parliamentary Counsel must prepare and register a compilation of the Act as soon as practicable afterwards.

Required compilation events for instruments

(2)    
If a required compilation event occurs for a legislative instrument or notifiable instrument, the First Parliamentary Counsel must register a compilation of the instrument:

(a) if a compilation is lodged for registration within 28 days after the event, or within a longer period allowed by the First Parliamentary Counsel - as soon as practicable after lodgement; or

(b) if a compilation is not lodged for registration within that period - as soon as practicable after the end of the period.

(3)    
However, if a required compilation event occurs for a legislative instrument or notifiable instrument, and section 15R does not apply because of subsection 15R(4) , the First Parliamentary Counsel must prepare and register a compilation of the instrument as soon as practicable afterwards.

Discretionary compilation events for Acts and instruments

(4)    
If a discretionary compilation event occurs for an Act or a legislative instrument or notifiable instrument, the First Parliamentary Counsel may prepare and register a compilation of the Act or instrument.

(5)    
If a discretionary compilation event occurs for a legislative instrument or notifiable instrument, and the First Parliamentary Counsel gives the rule-maker for the instrument a notice under section 15S , the First Parliamentary Counsel must register a compilation of the instrument:

(a) if a compilation is lodged for registration within the period stated in the notice, or within a longer period allowed by the First Parliamentary Counsel - as soon as practicable after lodgement; or

(b) if a compilation is not lodged for registration within that period - as soon as practicable after the end of the period.

No required or discretionary compilation event for Act or instrument

(6)    
The First Parliamentary Counsel may prepare and register a compilation of an Act, legislative instrument or notifiable instrument even if neither a required compilation event nor a discretionary compilation event has occurred for the Act or instrument.

Repeal and disallowance of Act or instrument

(7)    
The First Parliamentary Counsel must ensure that a registered compilation of an Act, legislative instrument or notifiable instrument is no longer shown on the Register as a compilation currently in force as soon as practicable after:

(a) the Act or instrument is repealed; or

(b) for a disallowable legislative instrument - the instrument is disallowed under section 42 .
