What this document is

The date above was taken from the file name rather than a consolidation statement on the cover, so treat it as approximate.

The operative text holds roughly 653 words across 3 sections.

These appeared in the previous version and not in this one. That usually means omission by a later law, though it can also mean a heading was formatted in a way the extraction did not recognise.

A note on these figures
Counts here are produced by software reading the PDF, not compiled by hand. The same method is applied to every document, which makes comparisons between versions meaningful, but a section with unusual formatting can be missed. Treat them as close measurements and the official document as the authority.
