134C Registrar may require person to give information
For the administration or enforcement of this Act the registrar may, by written notice given to a person, require the person to—
give the registrar, either orally or in writing, information in the person’s knowledge about a stated matter within a stated reasonable period and in a stated reasonable way; or
give the registrar a document about a stated matter in the person’s possession or control within a stated reasonable period and in a stated reasonable way.
When making the requirement, the registrar must warn the person it is an offence not to comply with the requirement, unless the person has a reasonable excuse.
The person must comply with the requirement, unless the person has a reasonable excuse.
Maximum penalty—100 penalty units.
It is not a reasonable excuse for an individual to fail to comply with the requirement because complying with the requirement might tend to incriminate the individual.
It is a reasonable excuse for a person to fail to comply with the requirement because the person reasonably believes complying with the requirement is likely to endanger a person’s safety.
This section does not apply to the Queensland Police Service.
