The Intellectual Property Point-in-Time Service has been updated to include the Treasury Laws Amendment (2022 Measures No. 1) Act 2022 (Cth) (Act 35 of 2022).

Act 35 of 2022

An Act to amend the law relating to taxation and superannuation, to make miscellaneous and technical amendments of the statute law of the Commonwealth, and for related purposes.

Schedule 4 to the Act makes minor and technical amendments to various laws in the Treasury, Social Services and Veterans’ Affairs portfolios, especially in regards to:

• the commencement of registries modernisation amendments;
• application of registries modernisation amendments; and
• financial reporting obligations.

Please note, Schedule 4 of this Act retrospectively amends the automatic commencements of the Treasury Laws Amendment (Registries Modernisation and Other Measures) Act 2020 (Cth) (Act 69 of 2020).
