19 Regulations for transitional matters
In this section —
commencement day means the day on which this Act receives the Royal Assent;
Gazettal day means the day on which transitional regulations are published in the Gazette;
transitional matter means any matter of a transitional or savings nature arising from the enactment of the adoption of the relevant version of the Commonwealth PPS Act;
transitional regulations means regulations under subsection (2).
The Governor may make regulations prescribing all matters that are required, necessary or convenient to be prescribed in relation to a transitional matter.
Transitional regulations can only be made before the end of the period of 12 months beginning on commencement day.
If transitional regulations provide that a state of affairs is to be taken to have existed, or not to have existed, on and from a day (the operative day) that is earlier than Gazettal day, the regulations have effect according to their terms as long as the operative day is not earlier than commencement day.
If transitional regulations contain a provision referred to in subsection (4), the provision does not operate so as to —
affect in a manner prejudicial to any person (other than the State), the rights of that person existing before Gazettal day; or
impose liabilities on any person (other than the State or an authority of the State) in respect of anything done or omitted to be done before Gazettal day.
