This bill aims to make the government more responsible for creating good laws and managing rules. It wants to help Parliament check new bills and control how the government makes rules.

The bill will do this by setting up principles for making responsible rules. It will also review new and existing laws to make sure they follow these principles. If laws don't follow the principles, the bill will make sure reasons are given.

The bill will create a Regulatory Standards Board. This board will look at existing laws to see if they follow the principles. It will also look at statements about how new government bills follow the principles.

The bill will also support a special government department that works on making laws better. It will give this department help to do its job.

All of these things are meant to make sure the government is careful and responsible when making laws and rules for New Zealand.
