3     Legislation
history
This Act was originally a Commonwealth ordinance--Unclaimed Moneys
Ordinance 1950 No 15 (Cwlth).
The Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988 (Cwlth),
s 34 (4) converted most former Commonwealth ordinances 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 11 May 1989
(self-government day).
As with most ordinances in force in the ACT, the name was changed from
Ordinance to Act by the Self-Government (Citation of Laws) Act
1989 No 21, s 5 on 11 May 1989 (self-government day).
It was renamed as the Unclaimed Money Act 1950 by the Justice and
Community Safety Legislation Amendment Act 2005 (No 4) A2005-52 (see amdt
1.145).
Before 11 May 1989, ordinances commenced on their notification day unless
otherwise stated (see Seat of Government (Administration) Act 1910
(Cwlth), s 12).

Republication No 11
Effective: 12 April 2012 Republication date: 12 April 2012 Last amendment made by A2012-13 Unauthorised version prepared by ACT Parliamentary Counsel's OfficeAbout this
republication
The republished law
This is a republication of the Unclaimed Money Act 1950 
 (including any amendment made under the Legislation Act 2001, part
11.3 (Editorial changes)) as in force on 12 April 2012

.  It also includes any commencement, amendment, repeal or expiry
affecting this republished law to 12 April 2012 
.  
The legislation history and amendment history of the republished law are
set out in endnotes 3 and 4. 
Kinds of republications
The Parliamentary Counsel's Office prepares 2 kinds of republications
of ACT laws (see the ACT legislation register at
www.legislation.act.gov.au):
               o     authorised republications to which the Legislation Act 2001
applies
               o     unauthorised republications.
The status of this republication appears on the bottom of each
page.
Editorial changes
The Legislation Act 2001, part 11.3 authorises the Parliamentary
Counsel to make editorial amendments and other changes of a formal nature when
preparing a law for republication.  Editorial changes do not change the effect
of the law, but have effect as if they had been made by an Act commencing on the
republication date (see Legislation Act 2001, s 115 and s 117).  The
changes are made if the Parliamentary Counsel considers they are desirable to
bring the law into line, or more closely into line, with current legislative
drafting practice.  
This republication does not include amendments made under part 11.3 (see
endnote 1).
Uncommenced provisions and
amendments
If a provision of the republished law has not commenced, the symbol
 U  appears immediately before the
provision heading.  Any uncommenced amendments that affect this republished law
are accessible on the ACT legislation register (www.legislation.act.gov.au). For
more information, see the home page for this law on the register.
Modifications
If a provision of the republished law is affected by a current
modification, the symbol  M  appears
immediately before the provision heading.  The text of the modifying provision
appears in the endnotes.  For the legal status of modifications, see the
Legislation Act 2001, section 95.
Penalties
At the republication date, the value of a penalty unit for an offence
against this law is $110 for an individual and $550 for a corporation (see
Legislation Act 2001, s 133).
