3     Legislation history

This regulation was originally called the Sale of Motor Vehicles Regulations and was originally made under a Commonwealth ordinance—the Sale of Motor Vehicles Ordinance 1977 No  29 (Cwlth).

The Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988 (Cwlth), s 34 (4) converted most former Commonwealth ordinances in force in the ACT, and the regulations made under them, into ACT enactments. This allowed the ACT Legislative Assembly to amend and repeal the laws. The Sale of Motor Vehicles Ordinance 1977 and the Sale of Motor Vehicles Regulations were converted into ACT enactments on 11 May 1989 (self-government day).

As with most ordinances in force in the ACT, the name of the ordinance 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).

This regulation was renamed by the Justice and Community Safety Legislation Amendment Act 2001, amdt 2.1 and under the Legislation Act 2001.

Before 12 September 2001, regulations commenced on their notification day unless otherwise stated (see Interpretation Ordinance 1914 s 5, Interpretation Ordinance 1937 s 16, Interpretation Act 1967 s 50, Subordinate Laws Act 1989 s 6).

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 or is affected by an uncommenced amendment, the symbol  U  appears immediately before the provision heading. The text of the uncommenced provision or amendment appears only in the last endnote.

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 Legislation Act 2001, section 95.

Penalties

(a) if the person charged is an individual—$100; or
