3 Road transport legislation—driver licensing

For section 7 of the National Transport Commission Act 2003 (the NTC Act), Schedules 1 and 2 set out road transport legislation about driver licensing.

Note 1: The road transport legislation set out in Schedules 1 and 2 does not have the force of law (see paragraph 7(2)(a) of the NTC Act).

Note 2: These Regulations must be made in accordance with the Agreement (see subparagraph 3(b)(ii) of the NTC Act).

Note 3: These Regulations are not subject to disallowance—see regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 44(2)(b) of the Legislation Act 2003.

Note 4: These Regulations are not subject to sunsetting—see regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 54(2)(b) of the Legislation Act 2003.

Note 5: The texts set out in Schedules 1 and 2 are those of 2 documents prepared, as ‘in‑principle’ drafts of legislation, by the former National Road Transport Commission and approved by the Ministerial Council for Road Transport on 15 December 1997:

 Schedule 1—National Driver Licensing Scheme—Primary Principles
 Schedule 2—National Driver Licensing Scheme—Supporting Principles.

Note: The documents were never converted into formal legislation. The text set out in the Schedules has been formatted in accordance with current legislative practice as far as possible. It is otherwise unaltered.
