COAL MINING INDUSTRY LONG SERVICE LEAVE
(REPEAL) BILL 1992
NEW SOUTH WALES
EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This Explanatory Note relates to this Bill as introduced into Parliament)
The object of this Bill is to repeal the Coal Mining Industry Long Service Leave Act
1950. The repeal will complement recently enacted Commonwealth legislation that
provides for the establishment of a new compulsory national industry scheme to fund
the long service leave entitlements of workers employed in the black coal mining
industry. Apart from resolving outstanding transitional issues, there will be no direct
State legislative involvement in the new scheme.
Clause 1 specifies the short title of the Bill.
Clause 2 provides for the Bill to commence on a day to be fixed by proclamation.
Clause 3 repeals the Coal Mining Industry Long Service Leave Act 1950.
Clause 4 contains transitional provisions designed to facilitate the termination of the
State's involvement in the existing scheme for funding the long service leave
entitlements of workers involved in the black coal industry and for reimbursing
employers who have paid those entitlements.
