This bill being passed means that:
The bill establishes a new position called the "Executive Officer for the Joint Parliamentary Service," who will be responsible for managing the various divisions of parliamentary services. This role consolidates functions that were previously spread across multiple officers, including the Clerks of the Legislative Council and the House of Assembly. The Executive Officer will be accountable to a Joint Parliamentary Service Committee.
The bill grants the Remuneration Tribunal the authority to set the pay for the Clerks and Deputy Clerks of both houses of Parliament. This tribunal already oversees the remuneration of judges and parliament members
