When you look at the Human Assisted Reproductive Technology Act 2004, you will see it has different parts. Some parts of the Act, like Part 1, subpart 1 of Part 2, and certain sections, come into force the day after it gets the Royal assent. This means they start being used as law from that day.
The rest of the Act comes into force nine months after it gets the Royal assent. You have to wait nine months for the rest of the Act to start being used as law. This is how the Human Assisted Reproductive Technology Act 2004 starts being used in New Zealand.
