About this statute

This Act sets rules for society registration, Registrar oversight, and penalties for illegal or non-compliant societies. Registered organizations and certain office-holders must provide requested information and documents to the Registrar, and non-compliance or false information can lead to fines or cancellation steps. This provision creates offences for helping, joining, attending meetings of, funding, representing, or promoting unlawful organizations, with fines, imprisonment, or both. This provision amends the organizations law, mainly on registration, branch approval, unlawful organizations, officer disqualification, and related offences and penalties. The Registrar has powers to require information, set a minimum response period, cancel registrations in listed cases, and issue temporary dissolution orders. Registered organizations must file annual information and comply with notices; non-compliance can lead to offences, fines, or imprisonment.
