PART I — PRELIMINARIES

1. Short Title and Enactment


(1) This Act may be cited as the ‘Agent 47 Act.’

Why is there a large gap here.

4. Amendments

Section 4 with no Section 3?

25 - Contract Murder

Relevant Law:

Why is this going in Part VII Corporate Offences, when it would be better off in Part IV Dangers to the Community alongside the other violence offences.

(i) Unless expressed in the form of the in-game bounty system.

If you want this, then you would state that "This offence shall not occur where"

(#) Offence Name

(a) Up to x amount of imprisonment or penalty units
(b) x amount of imprisonment or penalty units or disqualification period

(a) establish the legal test for your offence

It is a defence to a charge under this section if the person:

This offence shall not occur where:
(a) establish the legal test where it is not an offence

It's all right there for you.

Penalty:First offence: Up to 100 Penalty Units; Up to 30 minutes imprisonment
Subsequent offences: Up to 200 Penalty Units; Up to 45 minutes imprisonment

This isn't how you structure multiple penalties.
This is:

This offence shall not occur where:
(b) the form of the in-game bounty system is used with no other communication methods.

It's these small things that, when they accumulate, result in the Criminal Code Cleanup Act.
That bill shouldn't be needed, and I do not want to propose a second one to fix more shit.
