While one clause regarding restricted investigators initially raised concerns, the committee accepted the Minister's explanation and concluded the bill doesn't erode parliamentary power.
Impact
The Bill primarily affects tobacco retailers and consumers, particularly children and young people. It also impacts the Department of Health in relation to the appointment of restricted investigators.
