MOTOR TRAFFIC (AMENDMENT) BILL 1997

OBJECTS AND REASONS

THE SCALE OF FEES AND DEPOSITS PAYABLE TO THE REGISTRAR IN RELATION TO DIFFERENT KINDS OF MOTOR VEHICLES HAVE NOT BEEN REVISED SINCE 1973. SINCE THEN ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED. THE PRICES OF THE VEHICLES HAVE ALSO INCREASED. THESE FACTORS NECESSARILY HAVE REFLECTION ON THE QUESTION OF FEES AND IT IS CONSIDERED EXPEDIENT THAT SUCH FEES SHOULD BE REVISED IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THAT OBJECTIVE IT IS PROPOSED TO SUBSTITUTE THE EXISTING SCHEDULE TO THAT BY A NEW SCHEDULE.

I hereby certify that the above is a fair print of a Bill for an Act entitled the Motor Traffic (Amendment) Act 1997 that has been passed by Parliament of Nauru and is now presented to the Speaker for his Certificate under Article 47 of the Constitution.
