I move amendment No. 76:

In page 51, subsection (1), line 25, after “9(4),” to insert “11(4), 16(4),”.

I thank Members for their forbearance. These are all technical amendments. Amendment No. 76 provides for the inclusion of offences under proposed subsection 11(4) and subsection 16(4) as specified in the fixed payment offences under section 46. Amendment No. 77 is a technical amendment to provide for the inclusion of the offence under proposed subsection 26(2) as a specified fixed payment offence under section 46.

Amendments Nos. 78 and 79 are drafting amendments clarifying that the number of days is 28, commencing upon the service of a fixed payment notice. Amendment No. 80 provides for a second payment period, in the case where a person has not made a fixed payment within 28 days of the service of a fixed payment notice under section 46. The second payment period is of a further 28 days and incurs a payment that is 50% greater than the prescribed initial fixed payment amount.

Amendment No. 81 is a technical amendment to clarify that different levels of fixed payments can be specified in regulations by the authority for different contraventions.
