That sentence, in plain words

An older law from 2020 is changed. A term of five years is struck. Ten years goes in instead.

What this is about

That older law set up judge posts meant to be temporary. This law does not print what it said. It only makes the same swap in each of fourteen spots.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
