It sets **1 July 2009** as the commencement date for **item 42 of Schedule 1** of that Act.\n\nProclamations are the legal mechanism used to switch on (or \"commence\") laws or specific provisions that Parliament has already passed but delayed from taking immediate effect. Here, the Governor-General—acting on the advice of the Federal Executive Council and using the power granted by the Act itself—fixed the start date roughly six weeks before it would take effect (the proclamation was signed on 14 May 2009). This gives government bodies and companies time to prepare for the new rules coming into force."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/commonwealth-authorities-and-companies-amendment-act-2008-proclamation","history":"/api/acts/commonwealth-authorities-and-companies-amendment-act-2008-proclamation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/commonwealth-authorities-and-companies-amendment-act-2008-proclamation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/commonwealth-authorities-and-companies-amendment-act-2008-proclamation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/commonwealth-authorities-and-companies-amendment-act-2008-proclamation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/commonwealth-authorities-and-companies-amendment-act-2008-proclamation/documents"}}
