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 - Consequential amendments - Amendments to Privacy Act 2020

145: Section 208 amended (Consultation)

You could also call this:

“Changes who the Privacy Commissioner must talk to before making decisions”

The government wants to change a part of the Privacy Act 2020. This change is about who the Privacy Commissioner needs to talk to before doing certain things. If this change becomes law, the Privacy Commissioner will need to talk to one more person. This person is the boss (called the chief executive) of the Customer and Product Data Act 2024. The boss is described in section 5 of that act. This new rule would be added to the list of people the Privacy Commissioner already has to talk to.
