I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The Aviation Consumer Protection Levy (Collection) Bill provides for the collection of levies to cost recover administration costs associated with the Aviation Consumer Protection Bill.

The cost recovery charges are intended to recover the costs of activities carried out by the Aviation Consumer Protection Authority (ACPA), which the ACP Bill establishes as a regulatory function within the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the Arts (the department).

The collection bill outlines the process for the collection of these charges, ensuring that the levies imposed on regulated entities are effectively managed and distributed. It establishes the procedures for collecting and administering the cost recovery charges, in line with the framework set by the levy bill.

I commend the bill to the House.

Debate adjourned.
