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 - Regulatory stewardship and plans for regularly reviewing legislation - Plans for regularly reviewing legislation

17: Responsible agency must develop plans for regularly reviewing legislation and report on progress

You could also call this:

"Agencies must plan to check laws and tell everyone how it's going"

If this bill becomes law, the agency in charge of a piece of legislation will have to do two things. First, they will need to make and share plans to check if the legislation follows good rules for making laws. They will need to do this check regularly. Second, they will have to write reports about how well they are following these plans. They will need to share these reports with everyone. This is to make sure that laws are being looked at and improved over time.
