Subsection (2) applies if, immediately before the commencement, there is in force—

a consent to the taking of a DNA sample given under the pre-amended Act, chapter 8, part 4, division 3; or

an approval of a commissioned officer given under the pre-amended Act, section 307 for the detention of a person for the time reasonably necessary to take a DNA sample from the person; or

a DNA sample notice under the pre-amended Act, section 308; or

an order of a court made under the pre-amended Act, section 309(2)(b), 310(2)(b) or 312.

The pre-amended Act, chapter 8, part 4, continues to apply in relation to the consent, approval, notice or order as if the amending Act had not been enacted.

An application made to the Childrens Court under the pre-amended Act, section 312 that has not been decided by the court before the commencement has effect and may be dealt with as an application made to the court under section 488 of this Act.
