The information includes commencement details for amending laws and details of any application, saving or transitional provisions that are not included in this compilation.\n\nEndnote 4 (Amendment history) provides information about the amendments at the provision (generally section or equivalent) level and includes information about any provision of the compiled law that has been repealed in accordance with a provision of the law.\n\nIt also includes information about any misdescribed amendment (that is, an amendment that does not accurately describe the amendment to be made). If, despite the misdescription, the amendment can be given effect as intended, the amendment is incorporated into the compiled law and the abbreviation “(md)” added to the details of the amendment included in the amendment history. If a misdescribed amendment cannot be given effect as intended, the abbreviation “(md not incorp)” is added to the details of the amendment included in the amendment history.\n\nEndnote 2—Abbreviation key\n\n| ad = added or inserted                                | (md not incorp) = misdescribed amendment |\n| ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |\n| am = amended                                          | cannot be given effect                   |\n| amdt = amendment                                      | mod = modified/modification              |\n| c = clause(s)                                         | No. = Number(s)                          |\n| Ch = Chapter(s)                                       | par = paragraph(s)/subparagraph(s)       |\n| def = definition(s)                                   | /sub‑subparagraph(s)                     |\n| Dict = Dictionary                                     | Pt = Part(s)                             |\n| disallowed = disallowed by Parliament                 | r = regulation(s)/rule(s)                |\n| Div = Division(s)                                     | rep = repealed                           |\n| exp = expires/expired or ceases/ceased to have effect | rs = repealed and substituted            |\n| F = Federal Register of Legislation                   | s = section(s)/subsection(s)             |\n| gaz = gazette                                         | Sch = Schedule(s)                        |\n| LA = Legislation Act 2003                             | Sdiv = Subdivision(s)                    |\n| LIA = Legislative Instruments Act 2003                | underlining = whole or part not          |\n| (md) = misdescribed amendment can be given effect     | commenced or to be commenced             |","sortOrder":0}],"analysis":{"kimi_summary":{"content_quality":"rejected","complexity_score":4,"rejection_reason":"The provided text consists only of the Endnotes section (Endnote 1-4 and the Abbreviation key) of the Radiocommunications (Intelligent Transport Systems) Class Licence 2017.
