3 Section 12 of the Principal Act provides for the submission of schemes to the Minister. Clause 8 inserts a new section 12(2) so as to enable a scheme that indicates an intention to operate as a scheme of another jurisdiction to be submitted by the Council to the Minister administering the corresponding law of the other jurisdiction (so allowing the scheme to be gazetted in that jurisdiction in accordance with that jurisdictions version of section 13). Clause 9. Amendment of section 13 (Gazettal, tabling and disallowance) Section 13 of the Principal Act provides for the Gazettal of schemes submitted to the Minister by the Council.
