Bill LapsedLABill 26228 November 2007Private Member

This Bill amends the Corruption and Crime Commission Act 2003 to allow the Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC) and WA Police to conduct joint taskforce operations and enables the CCC to investigate serious crime independently of the WA Police.

Impact

The bill affects the WA Police and the Corruption and Crime Commission by changing the scope of the CCC's investigative powers. It may also affect individuals involved in serious crime by increasing the likelihood of detection and prosecution.

Key Changes

["Expands the definition of 'serious crime' to include indictable offences punishable by 14+ years imprisonment, criminal paedophilia, organised crime, ancillary offences and incidental offences.", "Enables the CCC to form joint task forces with the WA Police.", "Establishes a Crime and Corruption Commission Reference Group to refer serious crime matters to the Commission."]
