Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1997

This Act does not affect laws of an Australian jurisdiction specified or described in Schedule 1, to the extent that Schedule 1 indicates that they are excluded from the operation of this Act.

The Governor‑General may make regulations amending Schedule 1.

A regulation may not be made for the purposes of this section unless all of the then participating jurisdictions have endorsed the regulation.

However—

if such a regulation merely omits or reduces the extent of an exclusion of a law of a State from Schedule 1, the regulation may be made if the State has endorsed the regulation; or

if such a regulation amends Part 2 of Schedule 1 by substituting or adding a law of a State that relates to a matter referred to in paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) of subclause 1 (1) of Part 1 of that Schedule, the regulation may be made if the State has endorsed the regulation.
