212: Minister’s power to make rules

You could also call this:

"The Minister can create rules that people must follow in emergencies."

Illustration for Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

The Minister can make rules for several purposes. You will need to follow these rules if they are made. The Minister can make rules about things like forms, technical standards, and reporting requirements. The Minister can also make rules about emergency management functions and warning systems. These rules are a type of law called secondary legislation, which has its own publication requirements, see Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. The Minister can make rules about other things that are necessary to carry out this proposed law.
