PARLIAMENTARY BUDGET OFFICER ACT 2017 (NO. 27 OF 2017) - SECT 49

Correction of material errors in policy costing or pre-election report

    (1)     If the Parliamentary Budget Officer becomes aware that there is a material error in a policy costing or pre-election report, the Officer must, as soon as practicable—

        (a)     notify the member of Parliament who requested the costing or report of the error and its correction; and

        (b)     prepare a revised costing or report in which the error is corrected; and

        (c)     provide the revised costing or report to the member of Parliament.

    (2)     If the Parliamentary Budget Officer publicly released the erroneous policy costing or pre-election report, the Officer must publicly release the revised costing or report as soon as practicable after providing the revised costing or report to the member of Parliament who requested it.

    (3)     If the Parliamentary Budget Officer did not publicly release the erroneous policy costing or pre-election report, section 38, 40 or 46 (as the case requires) applies to the revised costing or report and not to the erroneous costing or report.

    (4)     Nothing in this section authorises the Parliamentary Budget Officer to include in a revised costing or report anything that section 37(2)(g), 39(4)(g) or 45(2)(g) prohibited the Officer from including in the costing or report when it was first prepared.
