The Corporations Legislation Amendment (Simpler Regulatory System) Act 2007 received Royal Assent on 28 June 2007.
Here is the updated Corporations Act incorporating the Simpler Regulatory System Act changes.
The Regulations to implement the Act are:
ASIC has announced a new class order [CO 06/1012] extending the transitional compensation arrangements under s912B of the Corporations Act 2001 from 1 January 2007 to until 30 June 2007.
The Government plans to finalise the compensation regulations during the next six months, including any further transition period.
The Finance Brokers Control Act (WA) regulates the arranging or negotiating of loans in that State. Persons who carry on that business in WA must be licensed by the Department of Consumer and Employment Protection (DOCEP), even if those loans are not regulated by the Consumer Credit Code.
Recent amendments permit non-WA residents to obtain a licence and permit the licensing of finance broker businesses whose owners (directors or partners) are not qualified provided a qualified person controls the finance broking operations.
Every new law (especially if it involves collection of information or money or supervision of business) requires an administrator: either a government-funded regulator or a government department.
Here's a list of some regulators with a link to the laws they administer:
