Plain language law

New Zealand law explained for everyone

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.

Customer and Product Data Bill

Administrative matters - Regulations, standards, and exemptions - Regulations

127: Regulations relating to fees and charges

You could also call this:

“Rules about paying money for asking for information or help”

This proposed law says that the Governor-General might make new rules about fees and charges. These rules could say that people or companies who are allowed to ask for data might have to pay money to the chief executive. The rules could also set fees for anyone who asks the chief executive to do something under this law.

The new rules might say exactly how much these fees are, or they might explain how to work out the cost. The chief executive might be allowed to give some people their money back or not make them pay at all, if the rules say so.

If these new rules are made, they will be part of New Zealand’s laws, but not the main laws. You would be able to find them published with other similar rules.
