Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Act asks the Commonwealth Parliament to pass national laws governing registration and use of business names by requesting Acts substantially in the terms of two Tasmanian bills called the ‘tabled text’ (s3–s4). It does not itself create business obligations; if the Commonwealth enacts the requested laws those new rules will impose registration and compliance duties on businesses (s4–s5). The Administrator fixes when this Request Act starts (s2).
