354: Chief executive to prepare proposed rules
or “The top boss must write down ideas for new rules”
You could also call this:

“Rules for making standards for licensed builders must follow specific guidelines”

When the chief executive creates a rule about Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) standards, they need to do three important things. First, they must make sure the rule fits with what the Building Act 2004 is trying to do. Second, they need to talk to licensed building practitioners or people who represent them, as well as others who might be affected by the new rule. Third, they have to think about the best ways of doing things around the world and what New Zealand has agreed to do internationally. These steps help make sure the rules for LBPs are fair, useful, and in line with good building practices.
