As part of the review of aspects of the Bail Act 2013 (NSW), the NSW Law Reform Commission is calling for submissions on the following questions:

• Should the list of firearms offences treated as "show cause" offences under the Bail Act be expanded? If so, what offences should be included?
• Should there be further guidance on the meaning of "criminal associations" in s 18(1)(g) of the Bail Act? If so, how should it be defined?
• Should the list of offences relating to criminal associations that are treated as "show cause" offences under the Bail Act be expanded? If so, what offences should be included?

The NSW Law Reform Commission has also released a short background note to help guide submissions.

The closing date for submissions is 23 September 2022.
