By 2009, that transition was long complete, making these temporary rules obsolete.\n\n**Who it affects:**\nChild care centres and providers. However, since these were interim rules that applied during a system changeover more than a decade earlier, this repeal is largely housekeeping—cleaning up outdated legislation that no longer serves a practical purpose.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nIt tidies up the statute book by removing \"zombie laws\" that remain on the books but aren't actively used. This makes the law clearer and easier to navigate for operators and regulators alike."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/child-care-transitional-repeal-regulations-2009","history":"/api/acts/child-care-transitional-repeal-regulations-2009/history","analysis":"/api/acts/child-care-transitional-repeal-regulations-2009/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/child-care-transitional-repeal-regulations-2009/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/child-care-transitional-repeal-regulations-2009/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/child-care-transitional-repeal-regulations-2009/documents"}}
