The Justice Miscellaneous (Reporting Procedures) Bill has been tabled in Parliament today.
The Bill contains amendments to reporting procedures in several Acts across Tasmania's justice system.
Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Guy Barnett, said streamlining legislation is front and centre for the Government.
"Through this Bill, we're making tweaks to a number of pieces of legislation," the Attorney-General said.
"The Government is committed to the important work of implementing all 191 recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry and this Bill is another step towards fulfilling that commitment.
"The amendments specifically recognise that any person can make a voluntary notification of reportable behaviour to the Registrar outside of the existing mandatory notifications by reporting bodies.
"This change will ensure that reports are received in time to be tabled in Parliament by the end of the relevant calendar year.
"I thank the public and other stakeholders who considered these amendments during the consultation period.
"Through our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's Future we're continuing to ensure Tasmania's legislation is fit-for-purpose, streamlined and producing the best results for Tasmanians."
A fact sheet is available on the Parliament website.
