- arrange for printing of ACT bills and subordinate legislation
- ensure that the Legislation Act 2001 remains a high-quality, easily understood source of the law dealing with the 'life cycle' of legislation
- prepare republications and annual volumes of ACT legislation, tables and other information about ACT legislation, and arrange to make them available in printed and electronic form
- manage the technical amendments program for ACT legislation to ensure, as far as practicable, ACT legislation forms a cohesive statute book of the highest standard
- edit republished legislation using the Legislation Act 2001 to ensure, as far as practicable, ACT legislation reflects current legislative drafting practice
