Tasmania act
This Act postpones the automatic ten‑year repeal of the Fire Service (Finance) Regulations 1996 so those regulations are treated as in force from 3 April 2006 until midnight 15 May 2006, and confirms regulation 6 applies for the full financial year starting 1 July 2005. It also assigns administration of the Act to the Minister for Police and Emergency Management and that Minister’s department until an Administrative Arrangements order is made. It matters because it prevents a regulatory gap in fire‑service finance rules.
