It appears to be a standard administrative restructuring instrument that has remained unchanged since its commencement on 1 July 2004, with the last file modification in 2017 likely reflecting a technical or formatting update rather than a substantive change."},"complexity_factors":["The order itself is a narrow administrative instrument with a single, specific purpose (government restructuring)","The substantive content of the order is not visible in the provided text, limiting full analysis","Restructuring orders can involve cross-referencing multiple other pieces of legislation (such as the State Service Act 2000) to understand full effect","Understanding the practical impact requires knowledge of how Tasmanian public sector employment law operates"],"plain_english_summary":"The State Service (Restructuring) Order (No. 3) 2004 is a Tasmanian administrative instrument that reassigned functions, staff or responsibilities between government agencies, legally effecting a departmental reshuffle from 1 July 2004.

This is essentially an internal restructure of the Tasmanian state public service, moving adult education functions from the vocational education sector (TAFE) into the main education department.
