They can assume it is.\n- **Streamlined paperwork**: A certificate from the Club Secretary saying a lease was properly approved and signed by the Chairman is final proof for the Registrar-General and the tenant.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- City Tattersall's Club and its management\n- People or businesses leasing property from the Club\n- The NSW Registrar-General (who handles property registrations)\n\n**Why it matters:**\nBefore this law, the Club probably had to hold a formal meeting of members every time it wanted to rent out spare property, even for short periods. This was bureaucratic and slow. The amendment cuts red tape, letting the Club's Committee act more like a normal property owner for short-term commercial leases."},"summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"There is insufficient substantive content in the provided document to assess whether the Act's scope changed from its original intent.
