The new rules only apply to new appointments after the law takes effect.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Board members of Tasmanian government-owned businesses\n- Future appointees to these boards\n- The government ministers who appoint these directors\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis is about **corporate governance** (the rules for how companies are managed). By setting clearer term limits, the government aims to ensure fresh perspectives on boards while protecting the stability of existing appointments. It prevents directors from serving indefinitely without review, but doesn't disrupt current board members mid-term.\n\nThe Act also has an unusual feature: it **automatically repeals itself** (ceases to exist) five years after the last part of it starts operating.
