When an Act (hereinafter referred to as the original Act) has, before or after the commencement of this Act, been amended by any other Act or Acts (hereinafter referred to as the amending Act or Acts) the following provisions shall apply:—
(a.)
A Law Officer may at any time direct a reprint omitting any provisions, words, and figures repealed, and inserting any provisions, words, and figures substituted or added by the amending Act or Acts, in such manner that the reprint shall set forth the law enacted by the original Act as amended by the amending Act or Acts.

Notice that a reprint has been made by the Government Printer and certified by a Law Officer shall be gazetted. The Gazette notice shall state the short titles of the original Act and of the amending Act or Acts.
(e.)
From and after the gazetting of such notice the reprint shall in all Courts, and for all purposes, be deemed and taken to express (in lieu of the original Act and the amending Act or Acts) the provisions of the original Act as amended by the amending Act or Acts.
(f.)
In every such reprint reference shall be made in the margin or a footnote to the enactment by which each amendment was made.
