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(generally section or equivalent) level and includes information about any provision of the compiled law that has been repealed in accordance with a provision of the law.\n\nIt also includes information about any misdescribed amendment (that is, an amendment that does not accurately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                       |     |\n| --------------------------------------------- | --- |\n| am. = amended                                 |     |\n| rep. = repealedrs. = repealed and substituted |     |\n\n  \n\nEndnote 3—Legislation history\n\n| Title                                                                                                    | Date of registration               | Date ofcommencement | Application, saving ortransitional provisions |\n| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |\n| Television Licence Area Plan (Tasmania) 2012                                                             | 13 December 2012(see F2012L02455)  | 10 April 2013       | -                                             |\n| Broadcasting Services (Technical Planning) Guidelines (Consequential Amendments) Instrument 2017 (No. 1) | 29 September 2017(see F2017L01299) | 30 September 2017   | -                                             |\n\n> Note: Endnote 4—Amendment history\n\n| Provision affected | How affected       |\n| ------------------ | ------------------ |\n| Section 5          | am.
