Before this date, the law existed on paper but had no legal effect. After this date, it became operational.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- **Tasmanian public servants** – the underlying Act changes how their work performance is managed\n- **Tasmanian Government departments** – they must follow the new performance management rules from this date\n\n**Why it matters:** Laws don't automatically start working when passed by Parliament. Someone (usually the Governor or Lieutenant-Governor) must formally \"proclaim\" a commencement date. This document is that official trigger. Without it, the performance management reforms would sit unused."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-state-service-amendment-performance-act-2011","history":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-state-service-amendment-performance-act-2011/history","analysis":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-state-service-amendment-performance-act-2011/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-state-service-amendment-performance-act-2011/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-state-service-amendment-performance-act-2011/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-state-service-amendment-performance-act-2011/documents"}}
