Taxi Regulation Bill 2003: Second Stage.
Section 9 sets out the principal functions and objectives of the commission. Its focus will centre exclusively on the promotion of quality standards. The House might note that this section now contains an explicit reference to the objective of the promotion of the needs of people with disabilities. The premium on quality, as exemplified in section 9, permeates Part 3 of the Bill. In establishing a new licensing regime and providing for its application and enforcement, Part 3 presents a focused structure that forms the basis for the operations of the commission, particularly in the context of the regulatory systems it will promote.
