3     Legislation history

This Act was originally a NSW Act—the Second-hand Dealers and Collectors Act 1906 No 30 (NSW).

This Act was in force in NSW immediately before 1 January 1911 (the date of establishment of the ACT) and was continued in force by the Seat of Government Acceptance Act 1909 (Cwlth), s 6.

Under the Seat of Government (Administration) Act 1910 (Cwlth), s 4, the Act had effect in the ACT as if it were an ACT law (subject to ordinances made under the Seat of Government (Administration) Act 1910).

The Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988 (Cwlth) converted certain former NSW laws in force in the ACT into ACT enactments. This allowed the ACT Legislative Assembly to amend and repeal the laws. This Act was converted into an ACT enactment on Self-Government (11 May 1989).

Under the Interpretation Act 1967, s 63 (all former NSW Acts in force in the ACT immediately before 10 November 1999 became, for all purposes, laws made by the ACT Legislative Assembly. This completed the process of making former NSW laws fully into ACT laws.

The Act was later renamed as the Second-hand Dealers Act 1906 by the Justice and Community Safety Legislation Amendment Act 2001 No 70 (see amdt 1.176).
