Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

These Regulations authorize the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions to start and conduct prosecutions, committal proceedings and summary proceedings for offences under State agricultural and veterinary chemical codes and regulations. They apply to States and the Northern Territory. The change is procedural: it assigns prosecution functions to the Commonwealth DPP for State Agvet offences, affecting regulated businesses and individuals who may face Commonwealth-led prosecutions instead of (or alongside) State action.
