MADAM SPEAKER,

THIS BILL PROVIDES FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN OFFICE OF REGISTRARGENERAL. THIS OFFICE WILL BE THE AMALGAMATION OF THE OFFICES OF THE REGISTRAR OF TITLES, THE REGISTRAR OF BIRTHS, DEATHS AND MARRIAGES, THE REGISTRAR OF UNCLAIMED MONEYS, THE REGISTRAR OF BUSINESS NAMES, THE REGISTRAR OF SECURITIES AND THE REGISTRAR OF INCORPORATED ASSOCIATIONS.

AM SPEAKER, THIS CHANGE REPRESENTS YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF

GOVERNMENT GOING ABOUT THE TASK OF SIMPLIFYING AND

RATIONALISING OUR LAW. .

INSTEAD OF HAVING A MULTITUDE OF PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE APPOINTMENT AND POWERS OF REGISTRARS, DEPUTY REGISTRARS AN D ACTING REGISTRARS WE WILL NOW HAVE A SINGLE PIECE OF LEGISLATION DEALING WITH THESE MATTERS.

ESTABLISHING ONE OFFICE OF REGISTRAR-GENERAL IS MORE ADMINISTRATIVELY EFFICIENT THAN HAVING SEVERAL SEPARATE OFFICES. THE OFFICE WILL BE MORE RECOGNISABLE IN TERMS OF THE SERVICES IT PROVIDES THE A.C.T. COMMUNITY.
