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
25: Validity of legislation not affected by failure to comply with this Act
You could also call this:
"Laws still work even if people don't follow this new rule"
This part of the bill says that even if someone doesn't follow the rules in this new law, it won't change how other laws are made or how they work.
If the new law isn't followed, it doesn't stop new laws from being created. It also doesn't make existing laws invalid or change how they work.
This means that the new law is important, but not following it won't break the whole system of making and using laws in New Zealand.
