#### 15T Registration of compilations Required compilation events for Acts (1) If a required compilation event occurs for an Act, the First Parliamentary Counsel must prepare and register a compilation of the Act as soon as practicable afterwards. Required compilation events for instruments (2) If a required compilation event occurs for a legislative instrument or notifiable instrument, the First Parliamentary Counsel must register a compilation of the instrument: (a) if a compilation is lodged for registration within 28 days after the event, or within a longer period allowed by the First Parliamentary Counsel—as soon as practicable after lodgement; or (b) if a compilation is not lodged for registration within that period—as soon as practicable after the end of the period. (3) However, if a required compilation event occurs for a legislative instrument or notifiable instrument, and section 15R does not apply because of subsection 15R(4), the First Parliamentary Counsel must prepare and register a compilation of the instrument as soon as practicable afterwards. Discretionary compilation events for Acts and instruments (4) If a discretionary compilation event occurs for an Act or a legislative instrument or notifiable instrument, the First Parliamentary Counsel may prepare and register a compilation of the Act or instrument. (5) If a discretionary compilation event occurs for a legislative instrument or notifiable instrument, and the First Parliamentary Counsel gives the rule‑maker for the instrument a notice under section 15S, the First Parliamentary Counsel must register a compilation of the instrument: (a) if a compilation is lodged for registration within the period stated in the notice, or within a longer period allowed by the First Parliamentary Counsel—as soon as practicable after lodgement; or (b) if a compilation is not lodged for registration within that period—as soon as practicable after the end of the period. No required or discretionary compilation event for Act or instrument (6) The First Parliamentary Counsel may prepare and register a compilation of an Act, legislative instrument or notifiable instrument even if neither a required compilation event nor a discretionary compilation event has occurred for the Act or instrument. Repeal and disallowance of Act or instrument (7) The First Parliamentary Counsel must ensure that a registered compilation of an Act, legislative instrument or notifiable instrument is no longer shown on the Register as a compilation currently in force as soon as practicable after: (a) the Act or instrument is repealed; or (b) for a disallowable legislative instrument—the instrument is disallowed under section 42.
