Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal legal notice (a proclamation) issued by the Governor-General. It simply sets 29 October 2015 as the start date for Schedule 2 of the Medical Research Future Fund (Consequential Amendments) Act 2015.

In Australia, parts of an Act don't always become law immediately after passing Parliament. Sometimes the Government must officially "proclaim" (announce) when specific sections begin. This document does exactly that—it activates Schedule 2 on the chosen date, allowing those particular amendments to take legal effect.

The proclamation is made under the authority granted by the parent Act itself (item 3 of the table in subsection 2(1)), which gave the Governor-General the power to pick this date. There are no substantive rules, penalties, or rights created here—just a procedural date-fixing mechanism.
