Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation adds the Northern Territory's Ozone Protection Act to a list of laws that are exempt from Australia's mutual recognition scheme.

Under the Mutual Recognition Act 1992, goods that are legally sold in one Australian state or territory can generally be sold in another without meeting additional local requirements. However, Schedule 2 of the Act contains a list of laws that are permanently exempt from this principle.

This amendment adds the Northern Territory's ozone protection legislation to that exemption list (as item 32). This means that despite mutual recognition rules, goods sold in the Northern Territory may still need to comply with specific requirements under the NT's Ozone Protection Act—such as restrictions on ozone-depleting substances or products containing them.
