45: Restriction on requiring information from non-public service agency

You could also call this:

"Rules for asking information from groups outside the government"

This part of the bill talks about when the government can ask for information from groups that aren't part of the public service. It says that if the government wants to ask these groups for information about laws they manage or jobs they do, they need to be careful.

The head of the ministry that looks after rules can only ask for this information after talking to another important person first. This other person is the head of a public service group that's in charge of the main law that gives power to the rules or jobs being looked at.

This rule is meant to make sure that when the government asks for information from groups outside the public service, they do it in a fair way. It's all about making sure the right people are talked to before asking for information.
