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 **Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008** by Acts and subordinate instruments. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– **Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008, No. 46/2008** | Assent Date: | 2.9.08 | | Commencement Date: | S. 246(4) on 1.1.09: Special Gazette (No. 365) 12.12.08 p. 1; s. 293 on 1.1.10: s. 2(2); s. 254 inserted on 21.10.20 by No. 27/2020 s. 16: s. 2; s. 248D inserted on 8.12.21 by No. 53/2021 s. 19: s. 2(1) | | Note: | S. 246(4) provided that s. 246 expired on 1.1.11; s. 293 repealed Pt 12 Divs 2–5 (ss 247–293) on 1.7.11; s. 254 (as amended by No. 7/2021 s. 4) repealed Pt 13 (ss 249–251, 254) on 16.12.21; s. 248D(5) provided that s. 248D expired on 30.8.24 | | Current State: | This information relates only to the provision/s amending the **Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008** | **Assisted Reproductive Treatment Act 2008, No. 76/2008** | Assent Date: | 11.12.08 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 157, 158 on 1.1.10: s. 2(3) | | Current State: | This information relates only to the provision/s amending the **Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008** | **Coroners Act 2008, No. 77/2008** | Assent Date: | 11.12.08 | | Commencement Date: | S. 129(Sch. 2 item 21) on 1.11.09: s. 2 | | Current State: | This information relates only to the provision/s amending the **Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008** | **Criminal Procedure Amendment (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Act 2009, No. 68/2009** | Assent Date: | 24.11.09 | | Commencement Date: | S. 97(Sch. item 99) on 1.1.10: Government Gazette 10.12.09 p. 3215 | | Current State: | This information relates only to the provision/s amending the **Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008** | **Statute Law Amendment (Evidence Consequential Provisions) Act 2009, No. 69/2009** | Assent Date: | 24.11.09 | | Commencement Date: | S. 54(Sch.
