This Act, consisting of 26 sections divided into six Parts and completed by four Schedules, establishes the Gene Technology in Tasmania. The object of this Act is to protect the health and safety of people, and to protect the environment, by identifying risks posed by or as a result of gene technology, and by managing those risks through regulating certain dealings with GMOs. For that purpose, this Act: a) applies the Gene Technology Act 2000 and the Gene Technology (Licence Charges) Act 2000 of the Commonwealth as a law of this State; and b) makes provision to help ensure that the Commonwealth Acts and the applied law of this State are administered on a uniform basis by the Commonwealth as if they constituted a single law of the Commonwealth.
