What changed
The amendment order modifies the Second Schedule of the Interpretation (Delegations by Minister for Health) Order 2024 by replacing the statutory reference "Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act 1993" with "Tobacco and Vaporisers Control Act 1993" in item 3. This is a technical amendment to update a cross-reference following the renaming of Singapore's tobacco control legislation.
Affected parties include government agencies and ministries operating under delegated authority from the Minister for Health. The amendment does not create new compliance obligations but ensures that existing delegations remain correctly aligned with current statutory references. Healthcare providers and other regulated entities should note that the underlying tobacco and vaporisers control regime continues unchanged; only the statutory citation in the delegation order has been updated.
