It declares that **sections 3 to 52** of the Act will come into force on **15 January 2004**.\n\n**What this means:**\n* The **National Transport Commission** (a body that develops national transport laws and regulations) becomes legally established and operational on this date\n* **Who issued it:** The Governor-General, acting on the advice of the Federal Executive Council and the Transport Minister\n* **Legal basis:** Made under section 2(1) of the Act itself (the provision that allows the Governor-General to set start dates)\n* **Why sections 3-52:** Section 1 of Acts is usually the short title, and section 2 usually covers commencement mechanics—so this proclamation switches on all the substantive parts of the law (establishment, functions, powers, and administrative provisions)\n\nWithout this proclamation, the Act would remain dormant \"on the books\" but unenforceable."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/national-transport-commission-act-2003-proclamation-20-11-2003","history":"/api/acts/national-transport-commission-act-2003-proclamation-20-11-2003/history","analysis":"/api/acts/national-transport-commission-act-2003-proclamation-20-11-2003/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/national-transport-commission-act-2003-proclamation-20-11-2003/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/national-transport-commission-act-2003-proclamation-20-11-2003/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/national-transport-commission-act-2003-proclamation-20-11-2003/documents"}}
