Endnotes 1 General information See [www.legislation.vic.gov.au](http://www.legislation.vic.gov.au) for Victorian Bills, Acts and current Versions of legislation and up-to-date legislative information. The **Food Act 1984** was assented to on 15 May 1984 and came into operation (*except* sections 31(b), 50(5)) on 1 January 1986: Government Gazette 6 November 1985 page 4213. Sections 31(b) and 50(5) were never proclaimed, repealed by No. 11/1995 section 3(2). 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 **Food Act 1984** by Acts and subordinate instruments. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– **Health (Amendment) Act 1985, No. 10262/1985** | Assent Date: | 10.12.85 | | Commencement Date: | S. 4(Sch.) on 1.3.86: Government Gazette 26.2.86 p. 451 | **Courts Amendment Act 1986, No. 16/1986** | Assent Date: | 22.4.86 | | Commencement Date: | S. 30(Sch.) on 1.7.86: Government Gazette 25.6.86 p. 2180 | **Food (Amendment) Act 1986, No. 95/1986** | Assent Date: | 16.12.86 | | Commencement Date: | 16.12.86 | **Liquor Control Act 1987, No. 97/1987** | Assent Date: | 1.12.87 | | Commencement Date: | S. 179 on 3.5.88: Government Gazette 27.4.88 p. 1044 | **Local Government (Consequential Provisions) Act 1989, No. 12/1989** (as amended by No. 13/1990) | Assent Date: | 9.5.89 | | Commencement Date: | S. 4(1)(Sch. 2 items 47.2, 47.7–47.9, 47.11) on 1.11.89: Government Gazette 1.11.89 p. 2798;
