MADAM SPEAKER,

THIS BILL IS RELATED TO THE REGISTRAR-GENERAL BILL 1993 WHICH I HAVE JUST INTRODUCED.

THE BILL REMOVES EXISTING PROVISIONS WHICH CREATE 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 MORPORATED ASSOCIATIONS.

CES TO THESE OFFICES ARE REPLACED WTTH REFERENCES TO THE NEW OFFICE OF REGISTRAR-GENERAL.

THE BILL ALSO MAKES A NUMBER OF MINOR TECHNICAL CHANGES TO BILLS AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE CREATION OF THE OFFICE. FOR EXAMPLE, IT AMENDS THE EVIDENCE (LAWS AND INSTRUMENTS) ACT 1989 TO PROVIDE FOR JUDICIAL RECOGNITION OF THE REGISTRAR-GENERALS SIGNATURE.

THE BILL CONTAINS A NUMBER OF TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS WHICH WILL ENSURE THAT REFERENCES TO REGISTRARS OF THE REGISTERS TO BE AMALGAMATED IN INSTRUMENTS, CONTRACTS, AGREEMENTS AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARE TAKEN AS REFERENCES TO THE REGISTRAR-GENERAL. THE BILL PRESERVES THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THOSE WHO MANAGE THE VARIOUS REGISTERS.
