This proclamation \"switches on\" a delayed section.\n- In this case, it allowed the government to control when certain electricity industry rules or reforms would actually take effect.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Primarily the electricity industry in Tasmania, including power companies and regulators who had to prepare for these rules to become active on the fixed date."},"issue_detection":{"absurdities":[],"contradictions":[]},"summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"Insufficient substantive content is available to assess whether the scope of this proclamation changed from its original intent.
