This proclamation \"switches on\" the nominated provisions so they become legally binding.\n- The remaining sections (like section 4, and sections 6–19, 21, 23+, plus Parts 1, 4, 5, etc.) are **not** commenced by this proclamation — they would need separate proclamations or automatic commencement rules to take effect.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Tasmanian public sector employees and their superannuation (pension) arrangements, once the commenced provisions take effect."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2016-047","history":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2016-047/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2016-047/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2016-047/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2016-047/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2016-047/documents"}}
