Effects of Bill:

This bill being passed means that:

the Greyhound Welfare and Integrity Commission cannot charge fees or impose conditions on the registration of a rehomed greyhound

the Commission's code of practice must include standards for the rehoming and euthanasia of greyhounds — covering any dog that has at any time been part of the racing industry, not just currently registered racing dogs
