BAKER), acting on advice from the **Executive Council** (the Premier and senior ministers).\n- Signed off by **Elise Archer**, then Minister for Justice.\n\n**Why this matters:**\n- Laws passed by Parliament don't automatically take effect immediately. This proclamation is the legal \"switch\" that turns the law on.\n- The underlying Act changes rules about **searching young people in custody** (detention centres, police custody, etc.). This proclamation simply says: \"those new search rules start on 1 December 2022.\"\n\n**Key point:** This document doesn't create new rules itself — it just activates rules that Parliament already approved."},"summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"A proclamation of this type has a fixed and limited purpose — to set a commencement date.
