Illustration for Sport and Recreation New Zealand Act 2002

This Act starts on a date chosen by the Governor-General. You can find out when this happens through an Order in Council. The Governor-General's order is a type of secondary legislation, which you can learn more about in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.

When the Governor-General makes an order, it has to be published, so you can find out about it. This is how the law says things should be done. You can read about the rules for publishing these orders in the Legislation Act 2019.
