Someone with authority (usually the Governor or Governor-General) must formally \"turn on\" the law by fixing a commencement date.\n- This proclamation gives teachers, schools, and the public certainty about when the new teacher registration system begins.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Anyone working as or planning to become a teacher in Tasmania from 2002 onwards, plus the government body responsible for registering teachers."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-teachers-registration-act-2000","history":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-teachers-registration-act-2000/history","analysis":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-teachers-registration-act-2000/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-teachers-registration-act-2000/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-teachers-registration-act-2000/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-teachers-registration-act-2000/documents"}}
