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 Standards Board - Functions

30: Inquiries or considering statements must be carried out on papers

You could also call this:

"Board must read papers, not listen to people, when checking new laws"

This part of the bill says that when the board looks into something or checks if a new law follows the rules, they can only do it by reading papers. They can't have a meeting where people come to talk about it. This means the board will make decisions based on written information, not by listening to people speak.
