You could also call this:

"Paying a fee for breaking plumbing rules is allowed from 2012"

Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

You pay an offences fee to the Board. This fee is valid from 12 January 2012. The Board cannot change this fee, but they can stop it. You paid this fee, so the Board can keep the money. The offences fee is what you pay according to some rules. These rules are from the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board. They were published in the Gazette in 2010 and 2012. The Board got this power from the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Amendment Act 2013, which you can find on the https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1986/0120/latest/link.aspx?id=DLM5073020 website.
