Tasmania regulation
These regulations give the Forensic Procedures Regulations 2021 their title and start date, define “Act” as the Forensic Procedures Act 2000, list which state, territory and Commonwealth laws count as "corresponding laws" for that Act, and revoke the earlier Forensic Procedures Regulations 2010 and its 2015 amendment. They are administered by the Department of Justice and commence when notified in the Gazette. This changes the statutory cross‑references that determine how the Act links to other jurisdictions (regs 1–4; Sch 1).
