33A Recording demerit points from other jurisdiction for person
taking up residence in Territory
(1) If a person applies for a Territory licence after a period of residence
in another jurisdiction, the Registrar must:

active demerit points recorded against the person in that
jurisdiction; and
(b) record those demerit points against the person in the register
for the dates on which the points were incurred.
(2) The demerit points recorded under subsection (1)(b) must not
include:
(a) points incurred before the commencement of this Part; or
(b) points for an offence where the register already contains a
record of the same offence.
Note
Demerit points brought across from a previous jurisdiction under this section may
include points for offences not recognised as demerit points offences in the
Territory.
