Prostitution Reform Act 2003

Commercial sexual services - Territorial authority may make bylaws

13: Procedure for making bylaws

You could also call this:

"How to make rules under the Prostitution Reform Act"

When you make a bylaw under section 12, you must follow the same steps as if you were making a bylaw under the Local Government Act 2002. You can find more information about this in the Local Government Act 2002. This means you have to do everything in the same way.

If you want to make a bylaw under section 12, you can do it even if it does not agree with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990. Normally, bylaws must not contradict this act, but in this case, they can. You can read more about the usual rules in section 155(3) of the Local Government Act 2002.

You should look at section 12 to understand what kind of bylaw you can make.
