3	Legislation history
This regulation was originally called the Poisons Regulations and was originally made under a Commonwealth ordinance—the Poisons and Drugs Ordinance 1933 No 37 (Cwlth).
The Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988 (Cwlth), s 34 (4) converted most former Commonwealth ordinances in force in the ACT, and the regulations made under them, into ACT enactments. This allowed the ACT Legislative Assembly to amend and repeal the laws. The Poisons and Drugs Ordinance 1933 and the Poisons Regulations were converted into ACT enactments on 11 May 1989 (self-government day).
As with most ordinances in force in the ACT, the name of the ordinance was changed from Ordinance to Act by the Self-Government (Citation of Laws) Act 1989 No 21, s 5 on 11 May 1989 (self-government day).
This regulation was renamed by the Health and Community Care Legislation Amendment Act 2000 No 28 (see sch 3) and under the Legislation Act 2001.
Before 11 May 1989, section commenced on notification day unless otherwise stated (see Interpretation Ordinance 1914, s 5, Interpretation Ordinance 1937 s 16, Interpretation Act 1967 s 50, Subordinate Laws Act 1989 s 6).
