These are technical amendments designed to ensure the indexing provisions will apply to any enactments enacted on or after the commencement date that amend other enactments. A new Act may substitute a provision into the existing Act that amends a penalty provision that can be imposed on summary conviction. These amendments will ensure the fine will fall into one of the classes provided for in sections 4 to 8.

Amendment agreed to.
