This proclamation acts as the \"on switch,\" telling the public and government agencies exactly when these migration law changes take legal effect. Until this date, those parts of the Act were dormant."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-act-no-1-2001-proclamation-27-09-2001","history":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-act-no-1-2001-proclamation-27-09-2001/history","analysis":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-act-no-1-2001-proclamation-27-09-2001/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-act-no-1-2001-proclamation-27-09-2001/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-act-no-1-2001-proclamation-27-09-2001/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-act-no-1-2001-proclamation-27-09-2001/documents"}}
