Special Recreational Vessels Amendment 2021

# Special Recreational Vessels Amendment 2021 ## What it does This amendment extends a deadline in the existing recreational boating laws by two years. Specifically, it pushes back a cutoff date from 30 June 2021 to 30 June 2023 for something covered under the Special Recreational Vessels Act 2019. The bill text doesn't spell out *what* that deadline applies to, but based on the act title, it likely relates to rules around recreational boat registrations, safety requirements, or compliance obligations. ## Why it matters The extension gives boat owners and operators (or whoever needs to comply with this requirement) extra time to meet whatever obligation was originally set to expire. Without this amendment, people would have missed the deadline. ## Key details - **Effective immediately**: The change takes effect as soon as the bill receives royal assent (the Governor-General's signature) - **Two-year extension**: The deadline moves from mid-2021 to mid-2023 - **Scope unclear from this text**: The actual amendment itself is just one sentence changing a date — the full context of what's being extended would require reading the original 2019 Act
