Kinds of republications
The Parliamentary Counsel’s Office prepares 2 kinds of republications of ACT laws (see the
ACT legislation register at www.legislation.act.gov.au):
authorised republications to which the Legislation Act 2001 applies
unauthorised republications.
The status of this republication appears on the bottom of each page.
Editorial changes
The Legislation Act 2001, part 11.3 authorises the Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial
amendments and other changes of a formal nature when preparing a law for republication.
Editorial changes do not change the effect of the law, but have effect as if they had been made
by an Act commencing on the republication date (see Legislation Act 2001, s 115 and s 117).
The changes are made if the Parliamentary Counsel considers they are desirable to bring the law
into line, or more closely into line, with current legislative drafting practice.
This republication does not include amendments made under part 11.3 (see endnote 1).

are accessible on the ACT legislation register (www.legislation.act.gov.au). For more
information, see the home page for this law on the register.
Modifications
If a provision of the republished law is affected by a current modification, the symbol M
appears immediately before the provision heading. The text of the modifying provision appears
in the endnotes. For the legal status of modifications, see the Legislation Act 2001, section 95.

3 Legislation history
This Act was originally a Commonwealth ordinance—the Australian-American
Education Foundation Ordinance 1966 No 16 (Cwlth).
The Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988 (Cwlth), s 34 (4)
converted most former Commonwealth ordinances in force in the ACT into ACT
enactments. This allowed the ACT Legislative Assembly to amend and repeal the
laws. This Act was converted into an ACT enactment on 11 May 1989 (self-
government day).
As with most ordinances in force in the ACT, the name was changed from
Ordinance to Act by the Self-Government (Citation of Laws) Act 1989 A1989-21,
s 5 on 11 May 1989 (self-government day).
Before 11 May 1989, ordinances commenced on their notification day unless
otherwise stated (see Seat of Government (Administration) Act 1910 (Cwlth),
s 12).
