Purpose and legislative effect

“The amendment adds a paragraph allowing the administration and collection of the television levy and any other fee for a public broadcasting service.”

The amendment adds a paragraph allowing the administration and collection of the television levy and any other fee for a public broadcasting service. This section changes a Part IV heading in the principal Act to “BROADCASTING SERVICES, LICENCES AND TELEVISION LEVY” and removes the old heading. This section amends the principal Act by adding a new section called “Television levy” after section 22. The Authority must charge a television levy, apply it to public broadcasting services, and licensees that collect it must remit it by the 10th day of the next month. A licensee that contravenes the section commits an offence. The Minister may set the rate and make regulations. This provision amends Section 39(1)(b) of the principal Act by adding the word “levies” after “grants”.
