From 31 March 2013, the changes in those schedules became operational law.\n\n**Why it matters:** Parliament passed the amendments in 2012, but they needed this additional step to actually take effect. This document is the “on switch” that made those health security amendments legally enforceable."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/national-health-security-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2013","history":"/api/acts/national-health-security-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2013/history","analysis":"/api/acts/national-health-security-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2013/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/national-health-security-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2013/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/national-health-security-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2013/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/national-health-security-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2013/documents"}}
