INTERPRETATION OF LEGISLATION ACT 1984 (ILA) Style changes Section 54A of the ILA authorises the making of the style changes set out in Schedule 1 to that Act. References to ILA s. 39B Sidenotes which cite ILA s. 39B refer to section 39B of the ILA which provides that where an undivided section or clause of a Schedule is amended by the insertion of one or more subsections or subclauses, the original section or clause becomes subsection or subclause (1) and is amended by the insertion of the expression "(1)" at the beginning of the original section or clause. Interpretation As from 1 January 2001, amendments to section 36 of the ILA have the following effects: • Headings All headings included in an Act which is passed on or after 1 January 2001 form part of that Act. Any heading inserted in an Act which was passed before 1 January 2001, by an Act passed on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Act. This includes headings to Parts, Divisions or Subdivisions in a Schedule; sections; clauses; items; tables; columns; examples; diagrams; notes or forms. See section 36(1A)(2A). • Examples, diagrams or notes All examples, diagrams or notes included in an Act which is passed on or after 1 January 2001 form part of that Act. Any examples, diagrams or notes inserted in an Act which was passed before 1 January 2001, by an Act passed on or after 1 January 2001, form part of that Act. See section 36(3A). • Punctuation All punctuation included in an Act which is passed on or after 1 January 2001 forms part of that Act. Any punctuation inserted in an Act which was passed before 1 January 2001, by an Act passed on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Act. See section 36(3B). • Provision numbers All provision numbers included in an Act form part of that Act, whether inserted in the Act before, on or after 1 January 2001. Provision numbers include section numbers, subsection numbers, paragraphs and subparagraphs. See section 36(3C). • Location of "legislative items" A "legislative item" is a penalty, an example or a note. As from 13 October 2004, a legislative item relating to a provision of an Act is taken to be at the foot of that provision even if it is preceded or followed by another legislative item that relates to that provision. For example, if a penalty at the foot of a provision is followed by a note, both of these legislative items will be regarded as being at the foot of that provision. See section 36B. • Other material Any explanatory memorandum, table of provisions, endnotes, index and other material printed after the Endnotes does not form part of an Act. See section 36(3)(3D)(3E). 2 Table of Amendments This publication incorporates amendments made to the **Fines Reform Act 2014** by Acts and subordinate instruments. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– **Fines Reform Act 2014, No. 47/2014** (as amended by No. 29/2016) | Assent Date: | 1.7.14 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 202(4), 331 on 31.12.17: Special Gazette (No. 443) 19.12.17 p. 1; s. 185D inserted on 25.4.20 by No. 11/2020 s. 37: s. 2 (as amended by No. 27/2020 s. 33) | | Note: | S. 331 repealed Pts 18, 19 (ss 248–331) on 31.12.18; s. 202(4) repealed s. 202 on 31.12.19; s. 185D repealed Pt 15A (ss 185A–185D) on 26.4.21 | **Justice Legislation Amendment Act 2015, No. 20/2015** | Assent Date: | 16.6.15 | | Commencement Date: | S. 52 on 17.6.15: s. 2(3) | **Fines Reform and Infringements Acts Amendment Act 2016, No. 29/2016** | Assent Date: | 31.5.16 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 3–58 on 1.6.16: s. 2(1) | **Fines Reform Amendment Act 2017, No. 59/2017** | Assent Date: | 5.12.17 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 62–107 on 6.12.17: s. 2(1); ss 3–8 on 21.12.17: Special Gazette (No. 443) 19.12.17 p. 1; ss 10–57 on 11.1.18: Special Gazette (No. 7) 10.1.18 p. 1; ss 58–61 on 3.12.18: s. 2(3) | **Residential Tenancies Amendment Act 2018, No. 45/2018** (as amended by Nos 11/2020, 25/2020) | Assent Date: | 18.9.18 | | Commencement Date: | S. 373 on 29.3.21: Special Gazette (No. 42) 27.1.21 p. 1 | **West Gate Tunnel (Truck Bans and Traffic Management) Act 2019, No. 8/2019** | Assent Date: | 26.3.19 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 106–108 on 19.2.20: s. 2(3) | **Rail Safety Legislation Amendment (National Services Delivery and Related Reforms) Act 2019, No. 41/2019** | Assent Date: | 6.11.19 | | Commencement Date: | S. 117(Sch. 1 item 5) on 2.12.19: Special Gazette (No. 480) 26.11.19 p. 1 | **Transport Legislation Amendment Act 2019, No. 49/2019** | Assent Date: | 3.12.19 | | Commencement Date: | S. 186(Sch. 4 item 20) on 1.1.20: Special Gazette (No. 514) 10.12.19 p. 1 | **Local Government Act 2020, No. 9/2020** | Assent Date: | 24.3.20 | | Commencement Date: | S. 390(Sch. 1 items 39.1(a), 39.2) on 6.4.20: Special Gazette (No. 150) 24.3.20 p. 1; s. 390(Sch. 1 item 39.1(b)) on 1.7.21: s. 2(4) | **COVID-19 Omnibus (Emergency Measures) Act 2020, No. 11/2020** | Assent Date: | 24.4.20 | | Commencement Date: | S. 37 on 25.4.20: s. 2 | **North East Link Act 2020, No. 18/2020** | Assent Date: | 10.6.20 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 129−131 on 1.3.21: s. 2(2) | **COVID-19 Omnibus (Emergency Measures) and Other Acts Amendment Act 2020, No. 27/2020** | Assent Date: | 20.10.20 | | Commencement Date: | S. 33 on 21.10.20: s. 2 | **Justice Legislation Amendment (System Enhancements and Other Matters) Act 2021, No. 11/2021** | Assent Date: | 23.3.21 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 183–191 on 9.8.21: Special Gazette (No. 420) 3.8.21 p. 1 | **Public Health and Wellbeing Amendment (Pandemic Management) Act 2021, No. 53/2021** | Assent Date: | 7.12.21 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 37−41, 57 on 30.8.22: Special Gazette (No. 438) 30.8.22 p. 1 | **Justice Legislation Amendment (Fines Reform and Other Matters) Act 2022, No. 17/2022** | Assent Date: | 18.5.22 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 3–26 on 19.5.22: s. 2(1); ss 43–65 on 18.7.22: Special Gazette (No. 346) 5.7.22 p. 1; ss 32, 35, 36(2), 37A, 38, 39, 41, 42 on 6.9.22: Special Gazette (No. 456) 6.9.22 p. 1; ss 27–31, 33, 34, 36(1), 37, 40 on 8.3.24: s. 2(3) | **Youth Justice Act 2024, No. 32/2024** | Assent Date: | 10.9.24 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 830, 831 on 30.9.25: s. 2(2) | **Roads and Ports Legislation Amendment (Road Safety and Other Matters) Act 2025, No. 25/2025** | Assent Date: | 5.8.25 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 101, 106(Sch. 1 item 16) on 6.8.25: s. 2(1) | ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 3 Explanatory details No entries at date of publication.
