Electricity Regulation (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

Legislation, which is expected to be published at the end of this year, will give statutory support to this development, as well as providing for authorised officers to inspect electrical installations and impose fines and penalties for any substandard and hazardous work. This will be a fully comprehensive Bill which requires a certain amount of time to draft. It will consolidate existing electricity legislation while eliminating any unnecessary statutes currently in force. I appeal to all Members of the House to recognise the value of both the Department's and the commission's extensive work in this area and welcome that Bill when it comes before the House.
