Bill Number - 25
Introduced in the House of Assembly
Bill TitleCOVID-19 Emergency Response (Bail) AmendmentBill Number38
Introduced in theHouse of Assemblyon28/04/2020
Precis

This Act amends the COVID-19 Emergency Response Act 2020 to allow for the temporary broadening of the definition of a prescribed applicant under the Bail Act 1985. This definitional change will:

  • allow for better protections for a range of prescribed workers including front-line health professionals (e.g. medical practitioners, nurses and those working in retrieval medicine), passenger transport workers and court security officers; and
  • promote general community safety by protecting private property from intrusion through the temporary reversal of the presumption of bail for those who commit serious criminal trespass in residential and non-residential premises and criminal trespass in residential premises.
