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

18: When regular review of Act is not required

You could also call this:

"When you don't need to check a law again"

This part of the bill talks about when you don't need to regularly review an Act. You don't have to review an Act if:

It's an excluded Act. This means some Acts are left out and don't need to be checked.

The Act only changes other laws. If an Act just updates other Acts, you don't need to keep reviewing it.

The Act is no longer used. If an Act has been cancelled or isn't active anymore, you don't need to review it.

These rules are part of Section 17 in the bill. They help explain when the regular review process doesn't apply to certain Acts.
