This modification simply adjusts the dollar amounts to maintain fair compensation, without changing any eligibility rules or how the scheme operates.\n\nThe new rates take effect automatically the day after this notice is officially registered."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-2-of-2011","history":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-2-of-2011/history","analysis":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-2-of-2011/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-2-of-2011/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-2-of-2011/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-2-of-2011/documents"}}
