Application of eligibility amendments
12 Application of eligibility amendments
This clause applies to the amendments made to section 10(3) of this Act and clause 5 of the Weapons Prohibition Regulation 2017 by the Justice Legislation Amendment Act (No 2) 2019 (the eligibility amendments).
Any permit that would have been validly issued or not issued during the transitional period if the eligibility amendments had been in force at the relevant time is taken to have been validly issued or not issued (as the case requires).
Subclause (2) does not affect the validity of any decision made during the transitional period to issue or refuse to issue a permit if the decision would have been valid even without the eligibility amendments.
To avoid doubt, the eligibility amendments extend to an application for a permit made, but not finally determined, before the commencement of this clause.
In this clause—
transitional period means the period commencing on 24 September 2018 and ending immediately before the day this clause commences.
Note.
The Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Amendment (Sentencing Options) Act 2017 commenced on 24 September 2018. It included transitional provisions that converted good behaviour bonds into community correction orders and conditional release orders.
