== Appointment of legislative directors ==
(1)  Urabba&nbsp;Parks appoints a person as a director under this subsection when the person is enrolled as the occupant of a director place (category&nbsp;D), falling in item&nbsp;1.2.b.a.y in the table in subsection&nbsp;20(3) (a '''''parliamentary membership'''''), and such a director is a '''''legislative director'''''.

:(a)  the person has consented to be appointed a director in respect of the place; and

:(b)  no other person ranking ahead of the person in succession to the parliamentary membership is appointed a legislative director in respect of the membership.

<small>Note: Persons rank in succession to a principal place by the number substituted for the placeholder character&nbsp;‘y’.</small>

(3)  The person who is responsible for enrolment of persons as legislative directors (or if no such person is provided – the Manager‑General) shall enrol persons upon return of the writs of an election, or by application of the occupant of a place falling within a parliamentary membership.

(4)  The place of a legislative director becomes vacant if:

:(a)   the director ceases to occupy a director place falling in the table in subsection&nbsp;20(3); or

= <span id="EM"></span>Relevant notes from the Explanatory Memorandum =
111. Subsection&nbsp;(1) provides that a person who has consented to appointment as a director is appointed a legislative director in respect of a director place in registration table&nbsp;1 in subsection&nbsp;20(3), being a place falling in either:
:(A) item&nbsp;1.2.b.a.y (a parliamentary membership); or
:(B) item&nbsp;1.2.b.0.y (the place of an officer of a House, which is a director place for officers who ceased to be a member of the House; this is intended to allow for the continued holding of office of a presiding officer who ceases to be a member as a legislative director, until the House appoints a new presiding officer).
The appointment takes effect when the person is enrolled as the holder of a parliamentary membership.

112. Subsection&nbsp;(2) provides that in the case of a parliamentary membership where alternates are capable of being appointed, a person is only appointed a legislative director if a director not ranking ahead in the succession to the membership (determined by the number in the placeholder character ‘y’) is not a legislative director in respect of the membership.  This clarifies the situation where there are two or more persons holding a place falling in a parliamentary membership.

113. Subsection&nbsp;(3) provides that the Manager General or other person responsible for enrolment of directors shall enrol occupants of places falling within a parliamentary memberships.  Subsection&nbsp;(4) provides for the vacancy of legislative directors upon cessation of holding a director place in registration table&nbsp;1 or if a person higher in the succession is appointed a legislative director in respect of the parliamentary membership.
