Racing Act 1958

If Racing Victoria resolves, by special resolution, to modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution, the company, on making such a special resolution, must notify the Minister of the special resolution.

The Minister must cause a copy of a notification given under subsection (1) to be laid before each House of Parliament, on or before the first sitting day of that House that occurs on or after 30 days from the day on which the Minister received the notification.

A House of Parliament may, on or before the 6th sitting day of that House after a copy of the notification is laid before it under subsection (2), resolve to disapprove the special resolution.

If a House of Parliament is prorogued or the Legislative Assembly is dissolved—

the prorogation or dissolution does not affect the power of the House to pass a resolution disapproving the special resolution; and

the calculation of sitting days of the House is to be made as if there had been no prorogation or dissolution.

Within 14 days after the last day on which a special resolution could be disapproved by a House of Parliament, the Minister must cause to be published in the Government Gazette a certification as to whether or not the special resolution has been disapproved by a House of Parliament.

A special resolution which has been disapproved by a House of Parliament has no effect.

A special resolution which has not been disapproved by either House of Parliament cannot have effect until on or after the publication of the certification under subsection (5).
