17 Review of schemes
(1) The Minister may direct the Council to review the operation of a scheme and the Council must comply with any such direction.
(2) The Council may on its own initiative at any time review the operation of a scheme.
(3) [Section 17 Subsection (3) substituted by No. 49 of 2016, s. 13, Applied:24 Nov 2016] A review may, but need not, be conducted in order to decide –
(a) in the case of a scheme prepared under this Act, whether the scheme should be amended or revoked or whether a new scheme should be made; or
(b) in the case of an interstate scheme, whether the operation of the scheme should be terminated in relation to Tasmania.
(4) Without limiting subsection (2) , the Council may review the operation of a scheme that relates to the members of an occupational association if the association proposes under section 30 an alteration in the standards applying in relation to an insurance policy or kind of insurance policy that would, in the opinion of the Council, result in less stringent standards.
(5) The Council may recover the cost of any review of a scheme under this section from the occupational association to whose members the scheme relates as a debt due to it from that occupational association.
