Reprinted Acts
If an Act has been significantly altered by amending legislation
it may be reprinted incorporating all amendments made up to the
time of printing. Reprinted Acts are filed alphabetically by short
title in Reprinted Acts binders. They are generally shelved directly
after the original bound volumes of Acts and statutes, eg the Reprinted
Acts for the Commonwealth are shelved at KTA38.2. Reprinted statutes
of NSW are shelved at KTA2138.3

If you need to know the details of amendments since the
last reprint of an Act you will need to consult a statutes
annotator. These are publications designed to gather together
information on statutes in force. Relevant information includes:
|
- date of assent and commencement
- date of the latest reprint
- reference to amended or repealed sections
- reference to subordinate legislation
- reference to relevant cases
- reference to relevant books and journal articles may also be
included at the end of each entry.
