Road Safety Authority Bill 2004

Public bill · Government · Presented

The proposal would create a new state body, the Driver Testing and Standards Authority, mainly to run driving tests and improve driving standards. It could also take on vehicle testing, driver licensing and driving-instructor regulation, with powers to outsource work or set up companies, while the Minister would provide policy direction and agree its service targets. The Authority would be overseen by a board and chief executive, funded partly by the State and service charges, and subject to public reporting, financial audits, conflict-of-interest rules and freedom-of-information requirements.
