Purpose and legislative effect

“This section gives the Act its short title and says it is to be read together with the principal Act; it is also deemed to have come into operation on 1 December 1980.”

This section gives the Act its short title and says it is to be read together with the principal Act; it is also deemed to have come into operation on 1 December 1980. This section amends several definitions in the principal Act, including “appropriate authority,” “appropriate Commission,” “dependant,” “medical board,” “pensionable service,” and “qualifying service.” This section amends section six of the principal Act by replacing references to “Division IV” with “Division III” in subsections (2) and (5). Officers or probationers in Division I, II, or III must contribute 7.25% of their pensionable emoluments, subject to the rest of the section. This provision changes section 9 of the principal Act by replacing “Permanent Secretary (Establishments)” with “Permanent Secretary (Personnel)” in subsections (2) and (3).
