This proclamation \"switches on\" these specific provisions, meaning people and businesses must start complying with these particular licensing rules from 15 December 2010 onwards. Until this proclamation was made, those sections were technically \"on the books\" but not legally active.\n\n**Who it affects:**\nAnyone in Tasmania who needs an occupational licence covered by these specific schedules — typically tradespeople, professionals, or businesses regulated under the Act."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-occupational-licensing-act-2005","history":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-occupational-licensing-act-2005/history","analysis":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-occupational-licensing-act-2005/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-occupational-licensing-act-2005/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-occupational-licensing-act-2005/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-occupational-licensing-act-2005/documents"}}
