100G: Amendments to or replacement of code of good faith for employment relationships in relation to provision of services by New Zealand Police

You could also call this:

"Changing the rules for working with New Zealand Police"

The Governor-General can change or replace the rules for employment relationships at the New Zealand Police. You can find these rules in Schedule 1C. The Minister must ask the Commissioner of Police and most service organisations before making any changes.

The Minister needs to talk to the Minister of Police and other important people before making any recommendations. When you hear the term "service organisation", it means the same thing as in section 55 of the Policing Act 2008.

If the Governor-General makes an order to change the rules, it is called secondary legislation. You can learn more about what this means by looking at Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
