Drafting and publishing of legislation - Revision Bills

92: Purpose of this subpart

You could also call this:

"Making New Zealand's laws easier to understand and up-to-date."

The purpose of this part of the law is to help update New Zealand's legislation in a progressive and systematic way. You can think of it like revising a big book to make sure it is easy to understand and up-to-date. This part of the law allows for revision Bills to be created, which can re-enact legislation in a new and accessible form without changing what the law actually means, unless this part of the law says it is okay to make changes, you can also look at the Legislation Act 1986 for more information.
