You could also call this:

“This part explains how special rules help with changes in the law”

The law says that there are some special rules in Schedule 1AA. These rules explain how changes to the law will work. They might tell you what to do if you’re in the middle of something when the law changes, or how to deal with old situations under the new rules. These special rules are important and you need to follow them exactly as they’re written in Schedule 1AA.
