Amendment No. 130 consolidates the provisions relating to ReBo's power to carry out certain functions. The power to appoint staff is provided for in section 54 and the power to organise meetings is set out in section 50. As a result, unnecessary references in this section to those powers are being removed by this amendment.

Amendment No. 131 deletes section 44(3). Subsection (3) is not required as subsection (2) already provides that ReBo may do anything which it considers necessary to enable it to perform its functions.
