The staggered commencement dates (Part 4 starting December 2015, Part 3 starting April 2016) suggest some changes took effect immediately while others needed more time to implement.\n\n**Important note:** The actual text of the changes has been \"incorporated\" into the main Act — meaning this document only tells you *that* changes were made, not *what* the changes actually are.
