172Z: Minister must have regard to recommendations

You could also call this:

“Minister used to consider advice when making electricity rules, but this rule no longer applies”

This part of the law used to tell the Minister what they needed to think about when making decisions about electricity rules. However, it’s no longer in use. The government removed this rule on 1 November 2010 when they made changes to the laws about electricity in New Zealand.
