This document fixes the exact date when the pharmacy registration changes become legally binding.\n- Without this proclamation, the Act would remain dormant — passed but not enforceable.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Pharmacists in Tasmania, who needed to know when new registration requirements would apply.\n- The Department of Health and Human Services, which administers the changes.\n\n**Key detail:**\n- The power to set the start date comes from **section 2** of the Act itself, which allows the Governor to proclaim a commencement date rather than having it automatic."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-pharmacists-registration-amendment-act-2010","history":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-pharmacists-registration-amendment-act-2010/history","analysis":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-pharmacists-registration-amendment-act-2010/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-pharmacists-registration-amendment-act-2010/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-pharmacists-registration-amendment-act-2010/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-pharmacists-registration-amendment-act-2010/documents"}}
