The Legislative Instruments
Act 1978 (except section 10AA) applies to a by‑law made under this section (and consequently a by‑law must be laid before Parliament and is subject to disallowance under that
Act).
A by‑law may—
provide that a matter or thing in respect of which a by‑law may be made is to be determined according to the discretion of TAFE SA;
and
be of general, limited or varied application according to the matter, circumstances or any other specified factor to which the by‑law is expressed to apply.
A by‑law is to be made and takes effect as follows:
a copy of the proposed by‑law is to be sent to each director at least 7 days before the meeting of the Board at which the by‑law is to be considered;
if a majority of all the directors vote at a meeting in favour of the proposed by‑law, the by‑law is to be submitted to the
Minister for approval;
if the Minister approves the proposed by‑law, the by‑law is to be published by TAFE SA in the Gazette at the expense of
TAFE SA;
the by‑law is taken to be made on the day of publication and takes effect from that day or a later day specified in the by‑law.
A by‑law made by TAFE SA must be made publicly available on a website determined by the Board.
A by‑law cannot take away or restrict civil or criminal liability under another Act or at common law.
