### sec.5 Amendments
If a law has been amended by—
the omission of provisions; or
the insertion of provisions (whether or not in substitution for omitted provisions);
a reprint of the law must—
show the law as amended by all amendments that commenced on or before the reprint date; and
incorporate all necessary consequential amendments, whether of punctuation, numbering or another kind.
If the following provision were to be amended by the omission of paragraph (c) , the bracketed punctuation mark would replace the bolded punctuation mark and the word ‘and’ at the end of paragraph (b) would be omitted—
A notice is to—
be signed by the chairperson; and
specify the time within which it is to be complied with; (.) and
specify the place at which it is to be complied with.’.
If a section that is not divided into subsections is amended by the insertion of a subsection at the end, the existing provision is numbered as subsection (1) .
If a section that is divided into subsections is amended by the insertion of another subsection that is given a new number (for example, a subsection (1A) to be inserted after subsection (1) ), section 5 (d) does not require the renumbering of subsections after the inserted subsection.
If a definition is added to a section consisting of 1 definition, the existing section heading ‘Definition’ would become ‘Definitions’.
If a provision heading is amended, a reference to the provision mentioning the provision heading may be amended to mention the amended provision heading.
