An Act to make provision for the reprinting of certain Acts and statutory instruments, and for other purposes.
This Act may be cited as the Reprints Act 1972.
The Amendments Incorporation Act 1906 is repealed.
(Repealed)
An Act, ordinance, regulation or by-law in respect of which a certificate of the Attorney General has, before the commencement of this Act, been issued under the Amendments Incorporation Act 1906, or under a provision of an Act amended by this Act, may be reprinted by the Government Printer pursuant to the certificate as if this Act had not been enacted.
In this Act:
(a) the repeal or omission of matter contained in the amended Act without the insertion of any matter instead of the repealed or omitted matter,
(b) the omission of matter contained in the amended Act and the insertion of matter instead of the omitted matter, or
(c) the insertion into the amended Act of matter, not being matter inserted instead of matter omitted from the Act,
whether the provision was enacted before or after the commencement of this Act.
(a) a section of an Act, being a section that is not divided into subsections and that is the subject of amendment by an uncommenced amending provision,
(b) a subsection of a section, being a subsection that is the subject of amendment by an uncommenced amending provision,
(c) an amending provision or an uncommenced amending provision,
(d) an agreement set forth in an Act, or
(e) section 7A of the Constitution Act 1902.
The Attorney General may authorise an Act or Part that has been amended by an amending provision to be reprinted, as so amended, under the authority of the Government, in the form certified as correct by the Attorney General.
The Attorney General may authorise an Act or Part that has not been amended by an amending provision to be reprinted under the authority of the Government in the form certified as correct by the Attorney General.
Where an Act or Part the subject of a certificate under subsection (1) or (2) is authorised under section 6 to be reprinted with the omission of any amending provisions, the certificate is not incorrect by reason that the form certified as correct does not contain those amending provisions.
A reference in any other section of this Act to the reprinting of an Act under this section includes a reference to the reprinting of a Part under this section.
