120: Regulations as to registration

You could also call this:

"Rules for Registering Certain Jobs and Places"

The law says regulations can be made about registering people who prepare dead bodies for burial or cremation, or conduct funerals. You need to be registered to do these jobs. Regulations can also be made about registering places like lodginghouses, eatinghouses, or shops that sell food. You can find more information about the regulations made under the Health Act 1956 on the New Zealand legislation website. Regulations can say what conditions you must meet to be registered, and what happens if you do not meet those conditions.
