135: References in documents to Electricity Commission

You could also call this:

“How to understand old documents that mention the Electricity Commission”

After a certain date, if you see a document that mentions the Electricity Commission, you should think of it as referring to the Authority instead. This only applies to documents written before that date and only if it makes sense with the new law. This change doesn’t apply to other laws, just to regular documents.
