To be proclaimed (s. 2(2))

2 Under the Public Sector Management Act 1994 s. 112(2), a reference to the Public Service Board is, unless the contrary intention appears or it is otherwise provided under the Acts Amendment (Public Sector Management) Act 1994, to be construed as if it had been amended to be a reference to the Minister for Public Sector Management (as defined in the Interpretation Act 1984). This reference was amended under the Reprints Act 1984 s. 7(5)(a).

3 Repealed by the Public Service Appeal Board Act Repeal Act 1977.

4 The Superannuation and Family Benefits Act 1938 was repealed by the State Superannuation Act 2000 s. 39, but its provisions continue to apply to and in relation to certain schemes because of the State Superannuation (Transitional and Consequential Provisions) Act 2000 s. 26.

5 Under the Public Sector Management Act 1994 s. 112(1), a reference to the Public Service Act 1978 is to be read as a reference to the Public Sector Management Act 1994. The reference was changed under the Reprints Act 1984 s. 7(3)(g).

6 Section 48A and the Second Schedule were inserted by the Limitation Act Amendment Act 1954 s. 8.

93. Certain contributions by former body suffice

An obligation imposed by the Agriculture Protection Board Act 1950 section 11 on the Public Transport Authority of Western Australia to contribute in respect of a year is satisfied to the extent that The Western Australian Government Railways Commission had, before section 140 commenced, already made a contribution in respect of that year under that section.

”.

9 On the date as at which this compilation was prepared, the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management (Repeal and Consequential Provisions) Act 2007 s. 34 and 40-48 had not come into operation. They read as follows:


34. Repeal

The Agriculture Protection Board Act 1950 is repealed.

41. Funds in, or payable to, former account

(1) On the commencement day any moneys standing to the credit of the former account are to be credited to the Consolidated Account and the former account is then to be closed.

(2) The Consolidated Account is to be credited with any money that became payable to the former account before the commencement day and that is paid after that day.

42. Devolution of assets and liabilities

On and after the commencement day —

(a) the assets and rights of the APB that were immediately before that day vested in the APB vest in the Authority by force of this section; and

(b) the liabilities of the APB (including a share of a liability) immediately before that day become, by force of this section, the liabilities of the Authority; and

(d) all records and data of the APB pass to the Authority.
