159A: Ordinary rule may require committee to be established

You could also call this:

"A law can require a committee to be set up to look at speed management on roads."

Illustration for Land Transport Act 1998

The law says an ordinary rule can make the Agency set up a committee. You might wonder what this committee does. It looks at speed management, like checking plans for state highways. The rule must say what the committee's purpose is. It must also say what the committee can and must do. The rule says who can choose the committee members. The rule might say when the committee stops working. It might say other things about the committee too. When choosing committee members, Section 96B of the Land Transport Management Act 2003 applies. Section 96C of the Land Transport Management Act 2003 also applies to the committee. These rules are secondary legislation, which means they have to follow certain publication rules, as outlined in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
