Comment period for NLS legislation closing soon

The COAG National Licensing Taskforce is reminding stakeholders that the public comment period for the Exposure Draft for the National Law for the National Licensing System is closing in late December.

The Exposure Draft for the National Law provides the governance arrangements for the National Occupational Licensing Authority, high level framework for the system and regulation making powers that will deal with the operational aspects of the system and occupational specific issues.

The Exposure Draft and Explanatory Paper can be downloaded from www.govdex.gov.au/confluence/display/COAGNL/Home (National Licensing website).

Responses to the Exposure Draft must be submitted to info@coagskillstaskforce.gov.au

The public comment period is open until 28 December 2009.  Please note that the COAG National Licensing Taskforce is unable to grant any extension for the lodgement of submissions.  Submissions received after the close of the public comment period will not be considered.

To enhance transparency of the public comment process, the Taskforce will publish all submissions on the National Licensing website unless they are marked "In-Confidence".
