113A: Regulations about small business consumers

You could also call this:

“Rules for deciding which businesses are small electricity users”

The government can make rules about who counts as a small business when it comes to using electricity. These rules are not about homes, but about businesses that are small. The person in charge of making these rules is called the Governor-General, but they only do it when the Minister tells them to.

When these rules are made, they become a special kind of law. This law is called “secondary legislation”. If you want to find out more about how this type of law is shared with everyone, you can look at Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
