Summary

Part of a package of five bills to provide for a regulatory framework (which reflects and replaces the

Quarantine Act 1908
), the bill amends the
Quarantine Charges (Imposition—General) Act 2014
to: amend the short title of the Act to
Biosecurity Charges Imposition (General) Act 2014
; and continue recovery of costs for biosecurity services, so far as those charges are neither duties of customs nor duties of excise, for prescribed matters associated with the administration of the proposed
Biosecurity Act 2014
.
