Amendments
This Act, which took effect on 31 December 2016, repealed and replaced the earlier Counter-Terrorism Financing Act B.E. 2556 (2013) and its amendment (No. 2) B.E. 2558 (2015), extending the regime from terrorist financing to the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. It is administered by the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO). Some blog content and secondary sources still cite the repealed B.E. 2556 Act; the current statute is the B.E. 2559 Act.
