Inquiry into the Obsolete Legislation Repeal Bill 2015
Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review Committee· 21 June 2016inquiry_report
The WA parliamentary committee reviewed the Obsolete Legislation Repeal Bill 2015, which aimed to remove outdated laws. The committee supported most repeals, but objected to removing the Sunday Entertainments Act 1979, arguing it was a policy change needing separate consideration. They recommended amending the bill to exclude this repeal.
Impact
Businesses providing paid public entertainment, particularly on Sundays, Good Friday, and Christmas Day, are affected. The Department of Commerce and local governments are also impacted by the recommended changes.
