116 Regulations may exempt carriers from State and Territory laws

(1) The regulations may provide that specified carriers may engage in specified exempt activities despite specified laws of a State or Territory. (2) A regulation in force because of subsection (1) has effect, according to its tenor, because of this subsection. (3) It is the Parliament’s intention that, where a regulation in force because of subsection (1) entitles a carrier to engage in specified exempt activities despite specified laws of a State or Territory, nothing in the regulation or in this section is to affect the operation of any other law of a State or Territory, so far as that other law is capable of operating concurrently with this Act. (4) Nothing in this section affects the liability of a carrier to taxation under a law of a State or Territory.
