Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2001 Week 8 Hansard (7 August) . . Page.. 2513 ..
Explanatory note
The remaking of section 19 will remove the existing requirement for the register to contain separate parts for the various types of registered material. This requirement would unnecessarily complicate the keeping of the register. The computing system will separate material for user convenience without the need for separate parts to be established legislatively.The new section would also require Bills presented to the Legislative Assembly to be available on the register. The section also deals comprehensively with notification of the disallowance and amendment of subordinate laws and disallowable instruments by the Legislative Assembly.

substitute
(1) The parliamentary counsel must ensure, as far as practicable, that a copy of the material mentioned in section 19 (1) and (2) (Contents of register) is accessible at all times on an approved web site.
