346: Establishment of Commission
or “This part of the law used to create a group to manage dangerous things, but it's not used anymore.”

You could also call this:

“This part of the law used to explain what the Hazards Control Commission was supposed to do, but it's no longer used.”

You should know that this section of the law, which used to talk about the functions of the Hazards Control Commission, is no longer in use. The government removed this part from the Resource Management Act 1991 on 2 July 2001. This means that the Hazards Control Commission no longer has any specific functions listed in this act. If you want to know more about how hazardous substances are managed now, you might need to look at a different law called the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996.
