Overview

The Statute Stocktake (Appropriations) Act 2013, enacted by the Parliament of Australia, aims to streamline the legislative framework by repealing a series of appropriation acts from 1999-2000 to 2009-2010, as well as other specific appropriation acts for various purposes such as drought and equine influenza assistance, economic security strategy, and regional telecommunications services. The Act addresses the issue of outdated and redundant legislation that no longer serves a purpose, thereby decluttering the statute books and improving the efficiency of legal administration. The commencement of the Act is effective from the day it receives Royal Assent.

Scope and Application

The Statute Stocktake (Appropriations) Act 2013 is a Commonwealth Act that applies to the repeal of specified appropriation acts and related legislation. The Act repeals various appropriation acts from 1999-2000 to 2009-2010, along with related acts such as the Appropriation (Drought and Equine Influenza Assistance) Act, Appropriation (Economic Security Strategy) Act, and Appropriation (Northern Territory National Emergency Response) Act, among others. The repeal of these acts is comprehensive, with each act being repealed in its entirety as specified in the Schedule to the Act. The Act itself is a consolidation measure to streamline and modernise the legislative framework concerning appropriations. The Act applies across the Commonwealth of Australia and came into effect on the day it received the Royal Assent, which was 1 July 2013. There are no stated exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds within the Act, and it does not extend or restrict its application through subordinate instruments.

Key Provisions

The Statute Stocktake (Appropriations) Act 2013 (section 1) provides for the repeal of certain appropriation acts, streamlining the legislative framework governing budget appropriations. The Act itself commences on the day it receives the Royal Assent (section 2). The primary operative sections of the Act are contained in the Schedule, which lists the appropriation acts that are to be repealed, including the Appropriation Act (No. 1) 1999-2000 to the Appropriation (Water Entitlements and Home Insulation) Act 2009-2010 (Schedule 1, items 1-84). Each of these acts is repealed in its entirety, effectively removing them from the statute books and reducing legislative clutter. The Act imposes obligations on relevant entities to ensure that the repealed appropriation acts are no longer cited or referred to in any legal or administrative context following their repeal. This means that any references to these repealed acts must be updated to reflect the current appropriation laws in place. Furthermore, the Act requires that any administrative or operational processes that were governed by the repealed acts must be aligned with current legislation. There are no explicit offences or penalties outlined in the Statute Stocktake (Appropriations) Act 2013 for breaches of the Act itself. However, failure to comply with the obligations to update references and align processes with current legislation could lead to legal or administrative issues. For instance, continuing to rely on a repealed appropriation act could result in non-compliance with current budget laws, potentially leading to financial mismanagement or legal disputes. Therefore, while the Act does not specify criminal or civil penalties, its effective implementation is crucial to maintaining compliance with current legal standards.
