The legislation history in endnote 3 provides information about each law that has amended (or

will amend) the compiled law. The information includes commencement details for amending

laws and details of any application, saving or transitional provisions that are not included in

this compilation.

The amendment history in endnote 4 provides information about amendments at the provision

(generally section or equivalent) level. It also includes information about any provision of the

compiled law that has been repealed in accordance with a provision of the law.

Editorial changes

The Legislation Act 2003 authorises First Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial and

presentational changes to a compiled law in preparing a compilation of the law for

registration. The changes must not change the effect of the law. Editorial changes take effect

from the compilation registration date.

If the compilation includes editorial changes, the endnotes include a brief outline of the

changes in general terms. Full details of any changes can be obtained from the Office of

Parliamentary Counsel.

Misdescribed amendments

A misdescribed amendment is an amendment that does not accurately describe the

amendment to be made. If, despite the misdescription, the amendment can be given effect as

intended, the amendment is incorporated into the compiled law and the abbreviation “(md)”

added to the details of the amendment included in the amendment history.

If a misdescribed amendment cannot be given effect as intended, the abbreviation “(md not

incorp)” is added to the details of the amendment included in the amendment history.
