I expect it will be operational from the enactment. We have regulations currently, which were advanced on in relation to that administrative support aspect. If a councillor chooses to remain in office but wants administrative support to carry out their functions over their maternity leave period, we will be bringing in regulations in tandem with the Bill for doing that.
