J. E. Cox), acting on advice from the **Executive Council** (the Governor's formal advisory body).\n- Signed off by **Judy Jackson**, the Minister for Justice and Industrial Relations.\n\n**Why it matters:**\n- Laws passed by Parliament don't always start immediately. This proclamation officially \"switches on\" the amendments, allowing prisoners to be transferred between Tasmanian and interstate prisons under the updated rules.\n- Without this proclamation, the Act would remain dormant — passed but not legally active."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-prisoners-interstate-transfer-amendment-act-2005","history":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-prisoners-interstate-transfer-amendment-act-2005/history","analysis":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-prisoners-interstate-transfer-amendment-act-2005/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-prisoners-interstate-transfer-amendment-act-2005/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-prisoners-interstate-transfer-amendment-act-2005/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-prisoners-interstate-transfer-amendment-act-2005/documents"}}
