New Zealand law explained for everyone

Local Government Act 2002

Regulatory, enforcement, and coercive powers of local authorities - Powers of local authorities to make bylaws - Review of bylaws made under this Act or the Local Government Act 1974

160B: Bylaw revocation postponed as result of outbreak of COVID-19

You could also call this:

“COVID-19 temporarily delayed the removal of some local government rules”

This section of the law was about delaying the cancellation of certain rules because of COVID-19. The rules were called bylaws. These bylaws were made under the Local Government Act 2002 or the Local Government Act 1974. However, this part of the law is no longer in effect. It was removed on 1 July 2021. This means the delay that was put in place because of COVID-19 is no longer active.
