Explanatory Note for Table of Legislative Changes – 4th Edition

This 4th Edition Table of Legislative Changes (TLC) shows any Act provisions and changes

  • enacted or brought into force between January 1, 2024 and the date to which this Act is updated,
  • enacted between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2023 that are not in force as of the date to which this Act is updated and were not repealed or superseded as of December 31, 2023, and
  • enacted between January 1, 1997 and December 31, 2004, or consolidated in the Supplement, if any, to this Act, that are not in force as of the date to which this Act is updated, were not inoperative as of December 31, 2004, or were not repealed or superseded as of December 31, 2023.

See the 1st Edition TLC, 2nd Edition TLC and 3rd Edition TLC, if any, for not-in-force and in-force provisions and changes from the 1997-2023 period and from the Supplement, if any, to this Act.

The "Section" column identifies sections of the Act affected by changes; sections not changed are not included. The "Change" column shows the nature of the changes (see abbreviations below). The "Citation" column cites the enactments making the changes. The "Into force" column (under "Changes Not in Force") shows how or when the changes are to come into force. The "Effective date" column (under "Changes in Force") shows when and how the changes have come into force.

Abbreviations commonly used:

am = amended
conseq = consequential
Div = Division
eff = effect(ive)
en = enacted
hdg = heading
RA = Royal Assent
re-en = re-enacted (repealed and replaced)
