Previously, the Act only referenced **section 15** of South Australia's *Summary Offences Act 1953* (but only the parts about firearms). Now it covers:\n*   **Section 15** (the whole section, not just the firearms parts), and  \n*   **Section 15A** (a related provision)\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis keeps the mutual recognition scheme up-to-date with current South Australian firearms legislation, ensuring that people in firearms-related occupations (such as dealers or security professionals) can continue to have their qualifications recognized when moving between Australia and New Zealand."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/trans-tasman-mutual-recognition-act-1997-amendment-regulations-2001-no-1","history":"/api/acts/trans-tasman-mutual-recognition-act-1997-amendment-regulations-2001-no-1/history","analysis":"/api/acts/trans-tasman-mutual-recognition-act-1997-amendment-regulations-2001-no-1/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/trans-tasman-mutual-recognition-act-1997-amendment-regulations-2001-no-1/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/trans-tasman-mutual-recognition-act-1997-amendment-regulations-2001-no-1/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/trans-tasman-mutual-recognition-act-1997-amendment-regulations-2001-no-1/documents"}}
