Line 13, paragraph (2) (n), omit "or a varied driver licence", insert "a varied driver licence or an exemption from holding a driver licence".
Line 14, after paragraph (2) (n), insert the following new paragraph:
"(na) require the holder of an Australian driver licence issued under the law of another jurisdiction to submit to tests or medical or other examinations to assess the person's fitness to drive in the Territory; and".
Amendment 3 clarifies that where a person is disqualified for a period from obtaining a licence the person is also disqualified from holding a licence for that period. Amendment 4, clause 28 of the Bill, is related to paragraph 31(1)(a) of the Bill, which allows for the holder of an Australian licence to drive in the ACT. Amendment 5, also to clause 28 of the Bill, is related to paragraph 31(1)(b) of the Bill, which allows for a person to be exempted under the regulations from holding an Australian drivers licence.
Amendment 6, to paragraph 28(2)(g) of the Bill, is consequential on the previous two amendments. Amendment 7, to paragraph 28(2)(n) of the Bill, corrects an error. Amendment 8, to clause 28 of the Bill, relates to paragraph 31(1)(a). It allows the holder of an Australian drivers licence to drive in the ACT.
