Illustration for Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 2021

The Governor-General can make rules for certain purposes. You can find some of these purposes in section 5(1) of the Act, which is about law enforcement or regulatory agencies. The Governor-General can also make rules about what information is included in certain notices. The Minister must talk to the Bank before making any recommendations about these rules. These rules are a type of law called secondary legislation, which has its own publication requirements, as outlined in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
