Without this update, there would be gaps between what the passenger transport rules require and what enforcement officers can actually do about breaches.\n\n**Key point:** This document itself doesn't contain the actual rules — it just authorises changes that have been 'incorporated' into the main 2017 Regulations. To see what actually changed, you need to look at the updated version of the Principal Regulations."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/traffic-compliance-and-enforcement-amendment-passenger-transport-regulations-2022","history":"/api/acts/traffic-compliance-and-enforcement-amendment-passenger-transport-regulations-2022/history","analysis":"/api/acts/traffic-compliance-and-enforcement-amendment-passenger-transport-regulations-2022/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/traffic-compliance-and-enforcement-amendment-passenger-transport-regulations-2022/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/traffic-compliance-and-enforcement-amendment-passenger-transport-regulations-2022/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/traffic-compliance-and-enforcement-amendment-passenger-transport-regulations-2022/documents"}}
