This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Regulatory Standards Bill

Principles of responsible regulation and regulatory stewardship - Act does not confer or impose legal rights or obligations or affect validity

24: Act does not confer or impose legal rights or obligations

You could also call this:

"This law doesn't give you new rights or make you do new things"

This part of the bill says that the new law won't give you any rights you can use in court. It also won't make you do anything that a court could force you to do.

But there's an exception. This rule doesn't apply to Part 3 of the bill. Part 3 might give you rights or make you do things that a court could enforce.

Remember, this is just a proposed law. It's not the law yet. If it becomes law, it will change how things work now.
